In this new Veronica Speedwell tale from New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn, a princess goes missing and a peace pact is about to fall apart.

January of 1889. Veronica Speedwell is eager to put her numerous talents to use as the newest member of the Curiosity Club, an exclusive group of intelligent, adventurous women. While Veronica puts up a tribute show for the pioneering mountain climber Alice Baker-Greene, she comes across information suggesting that the climber's recent death was actually a murder rather than a tragic accident. The results of their research are presented to Princess Gisela of Alpenwald, the exhibit's patron, by Veronica and her beau, Stoker, a natural historian. Gisela's chancellor, Count von Rechstein, does not want to cause a stir because Europe is on the verge of war; before Veronica and Stoker can decide what to do next, the princess vanishes.

Von Rechstein requests that Veronica pretend to be Gisela in order to preserve the peace pact that brought the princess to England after noticing Veronica's similarity to the princess. Veronica accepts the plan with hesitation. In the face of unwanted advances, assassination attempts, and Veronica's own family—the royalty who has never claimed her—she and Stoker must cooperate in order to preserve the treaty.
