About the book: 2021 / If you always wear masks, does it really matter what’s underneath them? The first graduate of the West Hall boarding school, the best lady-in-waiting of the Empress, Gifted magician, loving sister and devoted wife of Duke Golden, Marion Westers wore many masks. But I naively believed that my sister had no secrets from me. Until the Mayor ran away on her own honeymoon, falling in love - oh horror! - to His Excellency's young groom. Without return address. Without hope of a new meeting. And if this does not seem suspicious at all to Count Cole Hensley, the head of the imperial security service, my friend and ward Lorraine Hensley and I will reveal all the secrets ourselves - both palace and heartfelt.
