All Matilda Whipplethorn's roads lead to Rome.Matilda went from the bottom of Viennese society to the very top. Now everyone knows she's a kindler and she's become a target for fairies who want to exploit the tenuous situation in France. Being famous was never Matilda's goal. She still has a job to do and being a princess had better not get in the way. Her parents remain in the hands of the French rebellion and the royal family is imprisoned in the Conciergerie in Paris. Iris must be made a cardinal and they have a new family to protect. There's only one fairy they can turn to and he's in The Eternal City of Rome. Pope Joyous can intervene in affairs of state. But will he?
