   Summary

   The Little Palace is like a crypt, draped in silver and shadows when Princess Lina Kir-Taban marries the Darkling. The marriage is not one of love. There is no joy in the chapel as they make their vows.
   As conspiracies brew in the shadows and deceit seeps from the walls, the Little Palace might just end up being the gravesite of the Shu Princess.
