How to disappear into a crowd, quick as a whip.  Thousands of miles above her, Elseth Mare is being prepared for an entirely different life. Raised among the Citadel's most powerful Houses, Elseth has spent years learning diplomacy, politics, and the delicate machinery holding an ancient civilization together. She may one day become the Voice of the Concordat. First, she has to decide whether the future everyone has planned for her is actually the one she wants. Phoebe and Elseth should never have met.Then Phoebe ran into Cassien Virek. One accidental bag swap later, Pheobe finds herself at the center of plans she never wanted any part of. Elseths dreams are suddenly full of someone that she doesn't know. Something has gone very wrong. As the lives of a courier, a would-be ruler, and a revolutionary collide together, both women begin to discover that the Citadel has many more secrets than they had ever realized.
