Lucinda Chapdelaine has been an orphan ever since her parents left for a ball and never returned. She was taken in by her uncle at his jewelry shop, and must endure her wicked step-aunt.
And then a woman named Beryl came into the shop. Since then, Lucinda's life has changed forever.
All in the same day that she saw Beryl, the Prince comes to the shop, and a thief boy sneaks into Lucinda's room and stays the night. Peter, the thief, steals something from Lucinda, and she must find him to get it back to Beryl, the rightful owner.
But she isn't the only one looking for it.
When she finally finds the thief, he has sold it - to the Prince for his betrothed.
What will Lucinda do to get it back to Beryl? What other twists and turns will she get herself into along the way?
This story, overall, was very interesting. It kept me guessing and that made it hard to put down. My favorite character was Peter, the young thief, because he was fun and sarcastic. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the ending. It was very abrupt, and it gives you hardly a hint as to what happens to all of the characters.
Other than that, the story was well-written, and I really enjoyed it.
