Inside the ninth installment of Lauren Willig's best-selling Green Carnation series, an atrocious poet clubs up with an American widow to avoid Napoleon's invasion of England. Key agent Augustus Whittlesby has spent ten years undercover in France, posing as an insufferably bad poet. The French monitoring officers can't tolerate to learn his work strongly enough to recognize the information drowned in a sea of verbiage. New York-born Emma Morris Delagardie is a thorn in Augustus's area. An old university good friend of Napoleon's stepdaughter, she came up to France with her uncle, the North american envoy; eloped with a Frenchman; and has been rattling across the salons of Paris ever since. Widowed for four years, she entertains herself by sipping too much champagne, retaining a each week salon, and loudly critiquing Augustus's poetry. As Napoleon pursues his ideas for the invasion of England, Whittlesby hears of a top-secret device to be exhibited at a house party at Malmaison. The capture? The only way in has been Emma, who may have been asked to create a masque for the weekend's entertainment. Emma reaches a crossroads: Should she return to the States or stay in France? She'll do anything to postpone your choice - even if it means teaming up with that silly poet Whittlesby to create a masque for Bonaparte's house party. But each soon learns that surface appearances are misleading. With this complicated masque within a masque, nothing runs quite as scripted - especially Augustus's feelings for Emma.
