What do you know about marriage selections for a bride? That’s what you’ve read in novels? I studied the history of the state and law, and I have no reason to believe that in this world things will be any different. In my past life, I was a federal judge; in this one, I’m Yoland the “Chrome-footed,” Countess van der Vein—and I can’t wriggle out of the humiliating procedure. Court conspirators are desperate for power, the prince intends to marry exclusively for love, and the participants simply want freedom. An assassination attempt on the king is our shared chance.
A “crossover” heroine “over sixty” with a very strong professional deformation. Historical fantasy, a detective story; the peculiarities of life at court, fashion, selections, and legal proceedings are ridiculous yet true. You’ll have to think, overcome, and save the king—and yourself as well.
