YAPalace of Spies series.
Threatened by her betrothed, Sebastian, and her bitter uncle, Peggy Fitzroy, a maid of honor and spy in King George's court, finds herself a pawn in a larger plot to uncover Jacobite traitors. Zettel employs the elements that made the first installment such an appealing historical mystery, but frivolous conflict and slow-going action may test readers' patience in this second book.
