Princess Poppy, one of George's twelve dancing sisters from Princess of the Midnight Ball, is sent to Breton. There she meets handsome Prince Christian and a mysterious--and inept--servant girl named Eleanora. The tale takes an entertaining turn as Eleanora's backstory becomes clear and a series of royal balls coaxes Poppy back onto the dance floor. An engrossing and romantic fairy-tale retelling.
