Love. Magic. Revolution...
Paris is a labyrinth of twisted streets filled with beggars and thieves, revolutionaries and magicians. Camille Durbonne is one of them. She wishes she weren’t...
When smallpox kills her parents, Camille must find a way to provide for her younger sister while managing her volatile brother. Relying on magic, Camille painstakingly transforms scraps of metal into money to buy food and medicine they need. But when the coins won’t hold their shape and her brother disappears with the family’s savings, Camille pursues a richer, more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
Using dark magic forbidden by her mother, Camille transforms herself into a baroness and is swept up into life at the Palace of Versailles, where aristocrats both fear and hunger for magic. As she struggles to reconcile her resentment of the rich with the allure of glamour and excess, Camille meets a handsome young inventor, and begins to believe that love and liberty may both be possible.
But magic has its costs, and soon Camille loses control of her secrets. And when revolution erupts, Camille must choose—love or loyalty, democracy or aristocracy, reality of magic—before Paris burns.

“Narrator Justine Eyre helps transport listeners to prerevolutionary France and the intrigues of Louis XVI’s court…Eyre’s aristocratic accent, mixed with French, sets the atmosphere for this Cinderella story. Eyre provides dramatic tension, capturing Camille’s constant fear of being revealed as an imposter, the gentry’s easy disregard for commoners, and the sinister motives of a fellow gambler. Period details, some romance, and an exciting ending create a satisfying listen.”
