"A warning to all young ladies of delicate breeding who wish to embark upon lives of adventure: Don't."

Sixteen-year-old Peggy is a well-bred orphan who is coerced into posing as a lady-in-waiting at the palace of King George I. Life is grand, until Peggy starts to suspect that the girl she's impersonating might have been murdered. Unless Peggy can discover the truth, she might be doomed to the same terrible fate. But in a court of shadows and intrigue, anyone could be a spy - perhaps even the handsome young artist with whom Peggy is falling in love . . .

Auranos has fallen and the three kingdoms - Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsia - are now united as one country called Mytica. But still, magic beckons, and with it the chance to rule not just Mytica, but the world . . .

When the evil King Gaius announces that a road is the be built into the Forbidden Mountains, formally linking all of Mytica together, he sets off a chain of events that will forever change the face of this land, forcing Cleo the dethroned princess, Magnus the reluctant heir, Lucia the haunted sorceress, and Jonas the desperate rebel to take steps they never could have imagined.
