Clio Chase is beautiful, smart and determined, like all the daughters of the famous professor Walter Chase, nicknamed the muses. By cunning, the girl managed to find out where the handsome Edward Radcliffe, Duke of Averton, nicknamed the Greedy Duke, was hiding the treasure stolen from Delos - the Alabaster Goddess. Taking advantage of the turmoil of the masquerade ball in the Duke's house, Clio sneaked into the gallery and there, under a black silk blanket, she discovered a wonderful sculpture. But she did not have time to decide what to do with this discovery: Averton appeared in front of her in the costume of Dionysus, with a leopard skin on his shoulder. Clio was horrified to find herself alone in a dark gallery with such a dangerous man, who also had a reputation as a destroyer of women! That's all she needed!
