When her father loses his shoemaking business, young Fortunata becomes a charlatan fortuneteller. She tells a prince his future, then must ensure its outcome or lose her father. She uses her wits to help the divination play out, while others, too, work behind the scenes, protecting their own interests. Practical and determined, Fortunata is an immensely likable heroine.
