One of them is the princess. All of them are in danger. Elise has grown up on her family's farm, a few hours north of Caelia, capital of Mendacia, without ever visiting the city. One day, she's unexpectedly taken away to the palace for lessons and formal teas, and for safekeeping. Fifteen years before, when the Queen of Mendacia was poisoned by an unknown lord, the King hid his infant daughter-and six other girls. Now all seven girls, Elise among them, are gathered to the palace, where they meet the Greek prince whom the Princess will marry. But no one seems to know which girl is the Princess, and the murderer is still watching them all.
