Once a thief, Now a hero! Now hailed as a hero in the kingdom of Albermarle, Marek Jasoneke's fate has altered his life drastically, but not everything can go in favor of a thief-turned-hero. After the injuries sustained in "Heart Of Deception" Marek is confined to a wheelchair; stuck between the pressures of immobility. To aid an investigation, Marek has no choice but to revert to his birth name, Marc Bouchard, and has to isolate himself from the Jasonek alias, before the next journey brings him and the royal family to Paris, where the pressure increases just as well as the danger.
