Lady Desire Godwin has led an extremely sheltered life, surrounded by servants and tending her roof-top garden. Scarred during the Civil War, she believes herself to be too ugly to be desirable. Her life is changed when half-Swedish soldier Jakob Balston clambers up to her garden. Together they flee the approaching Great Fire of London and, in the face of this peril and others, Desire has to rethink her attitudes towards both herself and those she'd trusted.
