Masquerade of the Marvelous (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233633935)

Victoria Thorne has always dreamed of becoming a renowned singer, but her ambitions have been pushed aside for her to care for her ailing father. When she is unexpectedly invited to perform at the palace during the grand independence celebration, she seizes the chance to step briefly into the life she has always dreamed of.

Her hopes take a dangerous turn when she is drawn into the celebration's most popular tradition, the jester's game-a high-stakes competition promising wealth and opportunity to the victor. Seeing a chance to secure her father's future and claim her own, she agrees to play, only to discover the game is far more sinister than she initially believed.
