Publisher's Synopsis
The Prisoner of Zenda meets Brigadoon...
Grad student and fencing enthusiast Kim Murray is in Europe trying to find her grandmother's missing family when she sees her first ghost. Not that she knows it's a ghost. There's a lot she doesn't know, because her grandmother never talked about her past.
Two days into her stay in Vienna, she comes across a handsome European guy who acts like he knows her. Intrigued, she goes to have a drink...and ends up somewhere in Eastern Europe-mistaken for another woman, who is supposed to be marrying the crown prince of a tiny country on the border of Russia.
And that's only the beginning of her adventures. Mistaken identities, masquerade balls, duels with actual swords, and secret societies of kids resisting invaders with comic books keep Kim constantly on the run-and then there are the ghosts. And the handsome guy. Make that two handsome guys...
