The count is dead and his daughter has inherited his debts. With her friends dwindling away and faced with losing her home, the new countess sets out to restore her family's fortune and good name. Being plunged into poverty brings with it a whole host of new experiences that terrify the young countess, and she promises herself she'll do anything to find financial freedom, but can she really do it alone? And what of the man she loves? Would he help her or reject her for the misfortunes that have befallen her?

The Destitute Countess
I’m sorry to say that this novella was not to my liking. It was set in an nebulous universe, with magical creatures who never did anything, the author just talked about how much abuse they suffered. It was very boring. I only made it through it hoping it would somehow redeem itself but that never happened.
A story within a story!
I found this to be a very interesting read about an apprentice storyteller telling a story about a countess who loses both her father and her money at the same time. Not only does the countess lose her money upon her father’s death, she also inherits an unbelievable debt. This is the tale of how she deals with her new situation. I found this story to be well written and intriguing and highly recommend it.
