When you constantly wear masks, does it really matter what is under them? Lady Marion - the first graduate of the West Hall boarding house, the empress's best maid of honor, a gifted magician, a loving sister and the devoted wife of Duke Golden - wore many masks. But I naively believed that my sister had no secrets from me. Until she fled in the middle of her own honeymoon, falling in love - oh horror! - with a simple groom. She fled without a return address, without hope of a new meeting. And if Count Cole Hensley, the head of the imperial security service, does not seem suspicious at all, then my ward and I ourselves will reveal all the secrets - both palace and cordial.
