When smallpox kills her parents,Camille Durbonne must find a way to provide for her brother and sister. Relying on magic, she transforms into 'the Baroness de la Fontaine' and is swept up into life at the Palace of Versailles. Camille is astonished to find that her would-be suitor Lazare, a handsome young inventor whom she thought shared her dreams of liberty, is also living a double life. But 'la magie' has its costs. When a scheming courtier blackmails her, Camille loses control of her secrets. Then revolution erupts, and she must make choices-- before Paris burns. -- adapted from jacket.
