Noble-born shape-shifter Kirra Danalustrous has accepted her father's
invitation to style herself as her sister--the heir of Danalustrous--and
attend all the social events being held by the Twelve Houses. She is
accompanied by Donnal, a peasant and shape-shifter who has served her
most of her life. She is delighted to learn that Senneth, Tayse, Justin
and Cammon will also be making the social circuit as they escort
Princess Amalie to the summer balls.
But it's soon clear that Amalie is under attack from factions that want
to overthrow the throne, and Amalie's uncle Romar, regent of the
kingdom, might be in even more danger. Kirra gladly helps protect them
both, though it is disastrous when she begins to fall in love with
Romar. For Romar is a married man--and half of Kirra's heart already
belongs to Donnal.
