Nine stories. One night. A king, a lady, a minx, a politician, an ambassador, a prince, a musician, a businessman, and a princess. Nine tangled lives interweave Tonight. Who is prowling for love? Who is plotting harm? The lavish celebration of twenty-five years of the King’s reign sets a place for a web of intrigue that could unravel a world at peace. Nine perceptions of desire, conflict, and disdain cross through the shadows of glittering candlelight. In the grand ballroom of Bounbrow Palace, mayhem, madness, and murder have no place to hide…At the Ball.
