Masks and Shadows

Masks and Shadows

The year is 1779, and Carlo Morelli, the most renowned castrato singer in Europe, has been invited as an honored guest to EszterhÃ¡za Palace. With Carlo in Prince Nikolaus EsterhÃ¡zy's carriage, ride a Prussian spy and one of the most notorious alchemists in the Habsburg Empire. Already at EszterhÃ¡za is Charlotte von Steinbeck, the very proper sister of Prince Nikolaus's mistress. Charlotte has retreated to the countryside to mourn her husband's death. Now, she must overcome the ingrained rules of her society in order to uncover the dangerous secrets lurking within the palace's golden walls. Music, magic, and blackmail mingle in a plot to assassinate the Habsburg Emperor and Empress--a plot that can only be stopped if Carlo and Charlotte can see through the masks worn by everyone they meet.
