As tensions flare between the kingdoms of Westria and Austlind, Molly and Tobias travel with King Alaric to the court of Cortova.

Yet the cunning Gonzalo reveals secrets that make the marriage far from straightforward, with Alaric caught in a perilous bidding war that escalates in urgency and demands, ultimately threatening his life. Molly’s magical gift offers only foreboding visions, including an enigmatic cat whose cryptic metaphors echo a game of chess. Amidst intrigue and danger, the clever princess Elizabetta’s true loyalty remains uncertain, challenging Molly’s trust.

Versailles had come to life again. For fifteen years Mme. de Maintenon's austerity had cast a gloom over the royal pleasure palace; the disillusioned old king, grown virtuous with advancing age, had adopted an air of piety in deference to his secret wife; the nobility, ever ready to emulate their master, had quickly turned Versailles into "a court of repentant old men and pious dowagers." Then young Adelaide, gay and reckless, irrepressible and always in motion, changed everything. The darkness shrouding the palace was thrown off; laughing voices rang once more through the great mirrored galleries, the gardens and groves. - Back cover.
