"What would you say if I told you there was a time a Safe-
Keeper told a secret, a Truth-Teller told a lie, and a
Dream-Maker did everything in her power to make sure a
wish went astray? Believe what I tell you, for I am a
Truth-Teller, and every word I say is true."
Innkeeper's daughters Adele and Eleda are "mirror twins" -
identical twins whose looks are reflections of each
other's - and their special talents are like mirrors, too.
Adele is a Safe-Keeper, entrusted with hearing and never
revealing others' secrets; Eleda is a Truth-Teller, who
cannot tell a lie when asked a direct question. The
residents of Merendon often turn to the twins - especially
their best friend Roelynn Karro, whose strict, wealthy
father is determined to marry her off to the prince. When
the twins and Roelynn are seventeen, a handsome dancing-
master and his apprentice come to stay at the inn, and
thus begins a chain of romance, mistaken identity, and
some very surprising truths and falsehoods. This sequel to
Sharon Shinn's acclaimed The Safe-Keeper's Secret will
have readers utterly beguiled.
