But when her brother disappears Camille decides to pursue a richer, more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. In desperation, she survives by using the petty magic she learnt from her mother. When seventeen-year-old Camille is left orphaned, she has to provide for her frail sister and her volatile brother. Paris in 1789 is a labyrinth of twisted streets, filled with beggars, thieves, revolutionaries - and magicians. A compellingly beautiful tale of magic, intrigue and deception, set against the backdrop of eighteenth-century Paris on the cusp of revolution. ![]()
