This readbook tells the story of Del, a fugitive princess who hides her true identity with a magically woven mask. After the tragic death of her sister, she flees her kingdom and settles in Salato, a faraway city by the opaline lagoon.
Del has strict rules: no contact with royalty and no love, because her enchantment can only be broken by a kiss of true love. Yet she becomes court jester to Clara, who has just become a widow and has little experience with court life.
While Del guides Clara and her brother-in-law Nasca through the complex political game, her secret threatens to be discovered as she grows closer to them. The story combines fantasy, intrigue, and romance, and explores themes such as identity and trust.
