Set in the heady days of the French Revolution, this novel has history, magic, and memorable characters. Camille and her sister, Sophie, have struggled since the deaths of their parents. Camille uses the dark magic that her mother taught her, but warned her against using, to transform herself into a baroness. She plays cards at Versailles and meets some of history's greatest characters. But, when Sophie is in danger, she risks everything to save them both. With a love interest who flies the new balloons as a aeronaut and a dastardly marquis both wanting her, Camille must also make tough decisions about her future in a time when women had few choices.
