    Some people read auras—a light or color that surrounds others, revealing their character or emotions. Lise Bloom reads ribbons—of fragrance, that is. Whether she's around old friends or new, fragrance often unfurls from them—an ability called "clairalience."Hoping to gain insight into her gift, Lise works at the Lucky Lotus, a New Age shop. Unfortunately, the oils the owner, Dyann, concocts, nauseate Lise and impede her sense of scent. Worse, the shop feels more like wealthy Dyann's hobby than a spiritual place, thanks to her toxic love-torment relationship with her ex-husband, Richard.Dyann is so pleased with her latest vengeful scheme that she shares it with Lise and gleefully remarks that when Richard finds out, he'll kill her. But when she goes to the store the next morning, she discovers a spilled bottle of Mayan ceremonial liqueur . . . beside Dyann's dead body.Lise doesn't notice that Dyann's half-completed reply to Lise's resignation email is on the monitor of her desktop computer—making her the prime suspect. Now, she'll have to follow her nose to uncoil a venomous truth. It just may lead her life in an entirely new direction—unless a killer cuts it short . . .

Seventeen-year-old Thekla, fierce and relentless, has been abandoned at the altar for the third time. Determined to reclaim her betrothed—or make him pay—she sets out for the imperial capital, armed only with her wits and her blade. But Constantinople is no place for the faint-hearted. Here, intrigue and betrayal lurk in every shadow, and survival demands more than mere determination. 
Amidst the dazzling splendor of the Byzantine court, Thekla crosses paths with Irini of Athens—a strikingly beautiful orphan plucked from obscurity to wed Co-Emperor Leon, son of the ruthless Constantine. But Irini is no mere pawn. Beneath her delicate exterior lies an unyielding will and an insatiable hunger for power. 
As Thekla and Irini forge an uneasy alliance, the city erupts with unrest, torn apart by religious conflict and political machinations.
