About This Book

The narrative continues an episode of cloak-and-sword intrigue in which a grieving noblewoman seeks powerful allies to expose a conspiracy surrounding her marriage and the disappearance of her daughter. Rumors of murder, a threatened forced wedding, and a mysterious figure known as the hunchback drive a hunt for truth that draws in magistrates and the regent, who contemplates past crimes. Political maneuvers, secret letters, ambushes, and mistaken reports escalate tensions as rescue plans, arrests, and a looming marriage contract threaten to seal the heroine's fate while the hunchback and his companions prepare to confront the plotters.
