The war of 1812 bankrupted and then fragmented the Republic experiment. Parmour's young monarchy is at a precipice between failure and civil war.\u003cp\u003eZefren, orphan to a devious stepfather, turns eighteen soon. Eighteen is the age of manhood, the age for adventure . . . and the age he can break free from his stepfather's shackles. Soon, Zefren will escape from the cruelty of his two stepbrothers. But barriers threaten Zefren's hope for freedom-love, money, and a death threat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGilda, heiress, the daughter of Parmour's ruler, turns eighteen soon. Eighteen is the age she must marry, the age to fulfill her duties . . . and the age that shackles her to a life of rule. Soon, loneliness derived from wealth, power, and position will imprison her. But a kiss puts into question her obligations to duty, family, and country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZefren lives a life of servitude. Gilda was born into a life whose single purpose is to rule. Their worlds collide at a masquerade ball. Gilda enjoys the anonymity behind the mask, and the company of a young, mysterious man. Likewise, Zefren finds a boldness behind his mask. At the end of the night, all Gilda has from the young man is an unforgettable kiss and half of his broken mask-the clue she will use to find him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs their unlikely relationship strengthens, so do the dangers surrounding them. Gilda and Zefren unwittingly unravel a conspiracy that has spanned generations-a knowledge driving desperate people to kill. Knowledge that can crumble the mighty Parmour rule. Knowledge that has the power to tear their new love apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffery E. Moore, Cindy C.
