About the Book: Del has two rules: stay away from royalty and never fall in love. A runaway princess hiding behind a magically crafted face, she has fled her kingdom after her sister’s death and reinvented herself in the enchanting lagoon-city of Salato. But when Del becomes court bard to the newly widowed First of Salato, she is drawn into dangerous palace intrigue and forms unexpected bonds with Clara and her formidable sister-in-law, Nasca. Worse, the enchantment concealing Del’s identity can only be broken by true love’s kiss. As secrets unravel and attraction grows, Del must decide whether protecting her disguise is worth denying her heart.
