    Summary

    On the edge of adulthood, back from the fiery hell of battle and war, a grieving and weary Nikolai must once again comply with court life, to his utmost dismay. But among all the tinsel and flamboyance of the exultant nobillity, there is one who may offer solace under a mantle of impenetrable shadows.

    Or: Nikolai learns two truths. The first is that desire is ever stronger when not satisfied. The second is that it is never too late to stop lying.
