The Assassin's Masque

From the award-winning author of Dangerous Deceptions. “Like its heroine, Zettel’s tale is still smarter and wittier than its rivals.”—Kirkus Reviews Things are turning around for seventeen-year-old Peggy Fitzroy, a once-orphaned spy. Her father is back from the dead, and her unwanted engagement has been called off for good. But when a mysterious veiled woman shows up, Peggy uncovers a fresh slew of questions about her past, present, and future. Now Peggy is back at the palace, unsure of the loyalties she thought she held. With the Jacobite uprising stalking ever closer to the throne, it’s imperative that Peggy discover who she can really trust. Can she save herself and the royal family, or is she doomed as a pawn in this most deadly game? “For fans of humorous historical mysteries . . . a delightful read.”—VOYA “Court shenanigans and stolen kisses yet abound . . . But fret not, gentle readers, because feisty ‘Peggy Mostly’ and her champions (sly cousin Olivia and brave sweetheart Matthew) always get their man, usually with dramatic flair to boot.”—Kirkus Reviews
