The only person who appreciates her true self is Jean-Claude, the fatherly musketeer who had guarded her since birth. All shall change, however, when an unlikely marriage proposal is offered, to the second son of a dying king in an empire collapsing into civil war. But the last two women betrothed to this prince were murdered, and a sorcerer-assassin is bent on making Isabelle the third. Isabelle and Jean-Claude plunge into a great maze of prophecy, intrigue, and betrayal, where everyone wears masks of glamour and lies. Step by dangerous step, Isabelle must unravel the lies of her enemies and discovers a truth more perilous than any deception.""A setting fabulous and strange, heroes to cheer for, villains to detest, a twisty, tricky plot -- I love this novel "" --Lawrence Watt Evans""A thrilling adventure full of palace intrigue, mysterious ancient mechanisms, and aerial sailing ships "" --David D. Levine
