But Hector's courtship of Nina is deceptive. As they spend more and more time together, Nina falls in love and believes she's found the great romance that she's always dreamt of. Yet dazzling telekinetic performer and outsider Hector Auvray sees Nina's powers as a gift, and he teaches her how to hone and control them.
However, the haphazard manifestations of Nina's telekinetic powers make her the subject of malicious gossip. Under the tutelage of the beautiful but cold Valerie Beaulieu she hopes to find a suitable husband. Antonina Beaulieu is in the glittering city of Loisail for her first Grand Season, where she will attend balls and mingle among high society. In a world of etiquette and polite masks, no one is who they seem to be.
