When Ombria's prince breathes his last, the struggle to rule the whole of the city-both its light and shadows-will rest in the hands of those whose fractured lives align like the lost pieces of a magical puzzle. The latest romantic fantasy offering from this World Fantasy Award-winning author. It is a city that echoes with the footfalls of sapphire-heeled shoes; that holds its breath as a straw-haired apparition glides through its streets; that sees its dreams, and nightmares, take shape in the drawings of a bastard-heir. It is an enchanted time and place envisioned by World Fantasy Award winner Patricia A. McKillip, acclaimed author of The Tower at Stony Wood. When Ombria's prince, Royce Greve, breathes his last in palace rooms high above the city-he leaves his young son at the mercy of his ancient great-aunt, Domina Pearl, a woman who has plotted her rise to power in Ombria for far too many years to allow a little boy to stand in her way. Already she has thrown Greve's pretty mistress out into the streets, where no one would expect her to live an hour. The boy will take her a little longer. Meanwhile, in a dreamlike underworld peopled by Ombria's ghosts, a sorceress weaves her spells and brews her potions, never revealing her real face-or true heart. And somewhere in between, the struggle to rule the whole of Ombria-both its light and shadows-will rest in the hands of those whose fractured lives align like the lost pieces of a magical puzzle.

Sealey Head is a small town on the edge of the ocean, a sleepy place where everyone hears the ringing of a bell no one can see. On the outskirts of town is an impressive estate, Aislinn House, where the aged Lady Eglantyne lies dying, and where the doors sometimes open not to its own dusty rooms, but to the wild majesty of a castle full of knights and princesses. Scholar Ridley Dole comes to the village fascinated with Aislinn House as he believes the place is under a spell where the inhabitants are regimented like puppets whose strings are being pulled. Ridley's ancestor Nemos Moore used magic to link the Aislinn Houses; he hopes to undo his work to save the people, but is unsure how and remains unaware of the presence of a malevolent person hiding in plain sight who will kill him to insure the status quo remains.
