About the Book
National bestselling author Barb Hendee presents a dark, fascinating
new world and the story of two sisters who will discover they have far
more power than they ever envisioned...
In a small village in the nation of Droevinka, orphaned sisters Céline and Amelie Fawe scrape out a living selling herbal medicines in their apothecary shop. Céline
earns additional money by posing as a seer and pretending to read
people’s futures.
But they exist in a land of great noble
houses, all vying for power, and when the sisters refuse the orders of a warlord prince, they must flee and are forced to depend on the warlord
prince’s brother, Anton, for a temporary haven.
A series of
bizarre deaths of pretty young girls is plaguing the village surrounding Prince Anton’s castle. He offers Céline and Amelie permanent protection if they can use their “skills” to find the killer.
With little
choice, the sisters enter a world unknown to them — of fine gowns and
banquets and advances from powerful men. Their survival depends on
catching a murderer who appears to walk through walls and vanish without a trace — and the danger grows with each passing night.
