Reflection: Mirror of War

Is war only fought at the front? Oh, think again. There it’s terrifying and bloody—but at least it’s honest. Strength against strength, courage against courage. And even if an army stands against you, that’s no reason to surrender. Marquis Tournaysky isn’t about to give up—after all, he’s still alive! War can break out with relatives—right in court—and with rivals—for a man’s heart. And what battles can rage over an inheritance! Matilda and Marie-Hélène end up in the thick of it. Their family wants money from them, the men want reciprocation, the rivals want slow, agonizing death. But what do the girls want themselves? No one asks them. So they have no choice but to act at their own risk. But together, the two of them can handle anything!
