Product Description Kathryn has led a life of pampered luxury. To protect her from the malicious gossip of vindictive matrons and debutantes alike, her parents have kept her mostly isolated at their country estate in Bristol for the last fifteen years. Although she was raised as a proper young lady befitting her station in the aristocracy, the first years of her life were also carefree and spent learning of her Romany Gypsy heritage. Kathryn convinces her parents to allow her to attend her best friend's Coming-Out-Ball, little knowing that the fateful events of the evening will completely alter the path her life will take. Only later will she recall her Great Grandma Rosa's mysterious fortune forecast nearly six years earlier. A fortune that proved far more prophetic than either Kathryn or her parents ever dreamed could come to pass. Join author D. Darlene Sonntag on this fast-paced, romantic adventure that is the second book in the trilogy that began with the popular "Dastardly Deceptions." The reader will journey from the High Society of early 19th Century London, England to the treacherous seas, finally culminating in the fantastical, forbidden kingdom of the Middle East. About the Author D. Darlene Sonntag grew up in the foster care system starting at age three. She was adopted into a wonderful family at the age of eleven. Due to the abuse she suffered in many of her foster homes, she used reading as an outlet. In one of her homes she would climb a tree with a book, and sit reading high in its branches to hide from her foster mother. It didn't take long for her to begin writing as a means of escape, and she completed her first full length novel at age 12. She now resides in Utah with her husband and four children. She has found peace and lives a full, happy life, blessed not only with her adopted family and her biological family, but also to have married into a wonderful family. In addition to writing novels, it is her desire to help facilitate much-needed changes in the foster care system so others will not suffer as she did as a child.
