Malveen has a lot more going on than what meets the eye. She's popular, a seamstress in her spare time, and a regular at the local theatre. Still, Malveen has plenty of strong opinions. She's not exactly hotheaded, moreso passionate about her ideals. She's been using masquerade parties as excuses to kill. The bottles around her thighs aren't cider; they're poison. She tends to kill politicians and monarchs due to her own personal views. Nobody suspects a thing when the king's son dies at the party. At least, they don't suspect Malveen. Now, she has to evade the knights' pesky questions, including those coming from her old friend. Malveen loved Priscilla, but in her eyes, their country was at stake.
