About This Book

Set in a richly described royal court, the narrative centers on a princess promised to a distant duke and on the motley company of jesters whose wit and disguises drive the action. Arranged marriage and diplomatic bargaining among rulers provide a backdrop for secret missions, daring rescues, tournaments, and revelations tied to an important sword. Comic interludes and foolery alternate with episodes of danger on bridges, in tents, and moonlit encounters, as schemes test loyalties, awaken unexpected affections, and force a reckoning between private desire and public duty.
