I failed. I failed myself, my country, and most importantly, my son. That was my last thought before I died.
Parmour is a country borne from a failed United States. The war of 1812 bankrupted and then fragmented the Republic experiment. Parmour’s young monarchy is at a precipice between failure and civil war.
Zefren, orphan to a devious stepfather, turns eighteen soon. Eighteen is the age of manhood, the age for adventure . . . and the age he can break free from his stepfather’s shackles. Soon, Zefren will escape from the cruelty of his two stepbrothers. But barriers threaten Zefren’s hope for freedom—love, money, and a death threat.
Gilda, heiress, the daughter of Parmour’s ruler, turns eighteen soon. Eighteen is the age she must marry, the age to fulfill her duties . . . and the age that shackles her to a life of rule. Soon, loneliness derived from wealth, power, and position will imprison her. But a kiss puts into question her obligations to duty, family, and country.
Zefren lives a life of servitude. Gilda was born into a life whose single purpose is to rule. Their worlds collide at a masquerade ball. Gilda enjoys the anonymity behind the mask, and the company of a young, mysterious man. Likewise, Zefren finds a boldness behind his mask. At the end of the night, all Gilda has from the young man is an unforgettable kiss and half of his broken mask—the clue she will use to find him.
As their unlikely relationship strengthens, so do the dangers surrounding them. Gilda and Zefren unwittingly unravel a conspiracy that has spanned generations—a knowledge driving desperate people to kill. Knowledge that can crumble the mighty Parmour rule. Knowledge that has the power to tear their new love apart.
