Does the ‘devil wear Prada’? Magam will find out the hard way. Having grown up in a conservative, wealthy family, she enters into a so-called love marriage against her family's wishes.
In doing so, she fulfils her childhood dream of marrying her prince charming, who turns to be a jerk. Having married only for her family inheritance, Henry will set up a ploy to murder his young bride. He inherits her property, and finally marries the woman he really loves.
Magam miraculously survives the attempted murder, but unfortunately is left disfigured. After a face reconstruction with the help of a talented plastic surgeon, Magam in the skin and face of another, will return to cry out for vengeance, to finally expose all those who plotted her murder.
In the wake of her revenge, she will drive Henry mad with love, destroying his marriage and everything he cares about. Her second mission is to reveal and punish, all those who had a hand in his death. Time has been her best ally.
A tumultuous story, akin to the saying: “revenge is a dish best served cold”.
[The expression ‘devil wear Prada’ comes from the book written by Lauren Weisberger, in which she recounts her experience at Vogue, a fashion magazine, in a fictionalised way. Describing the behaviour of a director of publication who is diabolically mean and demeaning to her secretaries or assistants, while (hypocritically) being all sweetness with the right people. Prada is a haute couture brand.]
Traducted from the original French book titled : “Magam ou la vengeance dans la peau”. Novel renamed as : “La morsure de la haine”.
