When she meets Gem, however, a girl who can't seem to keep herself out of trouble, Maud finds herself building a complicated series of lies to keep her intriguing new friend from discovering her true identity. She's fallen for someone who doesn't know of her royalty - doesn't even know she's a girl. Although greater threats loom on the horizon, Maud realizes one misstep is all it will take to destroy her delicate web.
