« An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors » Curtis Craddock

book

Born with a physical disability, no magical talent, and a precocious intellect, Princess Isabelle des Zephyrs has lived her life being underestimated by her family and her kingdom. The only person who appreciates her true self is Jean–Claude, the fatherly musketeer who had guarded her since birth.

All shall change, however, when an unlikely marriage proposal is offered, to the second son of a dying king in an empire collapsing into civil war. But the last two women betrothed to this prince were murdered, and a sorcerer–assassin is bent on making Isabelle the third. Isabelle and Jean–Claude plunge into a great maze of prophecy, intrigue, and betrayal, where everyone wears masks of glamour and lies.

Step by dangerous step, Isabelle must unravel the lies of her enemies and discovers a truth more perilous than any deception.
