![]() Things take a turn for the wonderfully absurd when Permilia overhears the details of murder plot with Asher as its star at a costume ball where her attire invokes Cinderella. Asher is intrigued by Permilia’s singular strength of character, delight in helping others, and adventurous spirit.

She had a very untraditional upbringing in and around her father’s mines.
