description: Beauty met the Beast and there was . . . Bloody murder? Its the Annual Ambassadorial Ball in Glause and Lady Isabella Farrah the daughter of New Civets Ambassador is feeling pleasantly scintillated. In the library is Lord Pecus a charming gentleman whose double mask hides a beastly face and who has decided that Isabella is the very person to break the Pecus curse. In the ball-room is young Lord Topher who is rapidly falling in love with an older woman. And in the card-room lying in a pool of his own blood is the body of one of Isabellas oldest friends: Raoul Civets Head Guardsman. The papers sewn into his sash seem to suggest espionage gone wrong but Isabella is not so certain. Lord Pecus as Commander of the Watch is of the opinion that Isabella should keep out of the investigation and out of danger. Isabella is of the opinion that it is her murder to investigate and that what a certain Beast-Lord doesnt know wont hurt him. . . . Will Isabella find the murderer before Lord Pecus does or will she end her investigation as a bloody spatter on the parlour floor?
