Summary

"Lilliet Berne is a sensation of the Paris Opera, a legendary soprano with every accolade except an original role--a singer's chance at immortality. When one is finally offered to her, she realizes with alarm that the libretto is based on a secret from her past she thought long buried. Only four people could have betrayed her: one is dead, one loves her, one wants to own her. And one, she hopes, never thinks of her at all. The answer may come from her past. Orphaned as a child, she left the American frontier for Europe and was swept into the glamour and the terror of Second Empire Paris. In order to survive, she transformed herself from hippodrome rider to courtesan, from empress's maid to debut singer, weaving a complicated web of romance, obligation, and political intrigue in her wake."--Front flap of jacket
