Mirrorwoven

You are cordially invited to the Dragon Masquerade … ‘Gorgeously imagined … I was instantly hooked’ Laini Taylor ‘An utterly spellbinding debut’ S. A. MacLean ‘An enchanting, page-turning read!’ Vanessa Len Del has two rules. One: stay away from royalty. Two: don’t fall in love. The first – because Del is secretly a runaway princess. After the death of her sister at the hand of her boyfriend, Del flees her family, home and all the responsibilities that come with being the queendom’s new heir. With a magically constructed mirrorwoven face, Del is now unrecognisable, and disappears to the faraway opaline lagoon-city of Salato. The second rule – because the enchantment hiding Del’s identity can only be unravelled by true love’s kiss. But that’s just fine. Del’s had enough of love anyway. When Del breaks Rule One and becomes court bard to the newly widowed First of Salato, she is resolved to keep her head down. But Clara is naïve and trusts too easily, and soon Del finds herself having to guide Clara through the shoals of court life, somehow without revealing her own secret. As Del grows closer to both Clara and Nasca, Clara’s brilliant, dangerous sister-in-law, it will only take a push to bring Del’s house of cards tumbling down. Like, for example, breaking Rule Two.
