Book Cover & Preview Text
“What?” I looked in my father’s direction, confused. My father sighed, and looked up toward me with remorse in his eyes. “Swanilde, I am sorry it has to be this way. I only kept this secret for your well being.” He paused and gave me a small and regretful look. “Since I am a descendant of French royals, my family and I have tried to re-establish a monarchy, so we are constantly under the watch of the French government. Your mother and I got divorced to keep you children safe from any prosecution. We tried to have a private life, but it was not possible. As your father, I apologize if it inflicts any pain on you. This secret must be kept-even your life could depend on it. It could make things horribly difficult for you.”
