Paris, Marie Antoinette, Versailles and Magic? When Camille finds herself responsible for her younger sister after her parents death, she must use all means necessary to keep them from living on the streets. She uses her magic to turn metal into coins, but the magic isn’t holding. She is desperate to find a solution and does what her mother told her never to do- use dark magic. Camille works her spells to become a member of the aristocracy so she can infiltrate the card games at Versaille. She meets a circle of friends and finds herself intertwined in the goings on at court. But she doesn’t notice the darkness swirling around her at every turn. Meanwhile, as herself, she meets a balloonist named Lazare, who takes her for a ride in a hot air balloon and changes her views of life and the city. The more time she spends with him, the more she wants to know more about him. When their two worlds collide at the palace, the have to find a way to save each other from the evil reaching out for both of them. I love some historical fiction, especially this time period. So the added twist of magic made it even more interesting- what if  Marie Antoinette used magic to keep herself relevant or beautiful? Hmm. I enjoyed this novel, don’t know if it will work with the kids but I’ll find out in a month or so.. I however, found it easily readable and fun. Happy reading my friends!
