In the spring of 1863, the American Civil War rages. Gettysburg has not yet happened, Abraham Lincoln is unpopular, and New York City’s loyalties remain in question. Politicians and spies, human and fey, challenge each other in dark alleys and beneath bright chandeliers, manipulating truth and public opinion to see that their version of history prevails.
Sent to live with his great aunt, young Kit Drake arrives at Wallack’s Theater and quickly falls under its spell. But his family is not who he thinks they are, and neither is he. As Kit’s story unwinds, giants of politics, literature, and the arts are introduced as confidants, antagonists, heroes, and heroines, intertwining historical fact with just enough fantasy to keep us wondering what will happen.
