Told in two voices, sixteen-year-old Comtesse Emilie, whose yearning to be a physician is below her station, switches places with Annette, who needs training to develop her magic, as their homeland is threatened by war

Ages 14-17

Emilie des Marais is desperate to escape her noble roots to serve her country as a physician-- but society dictates a noble lady cannot perform such gruesome work. Annette Boucher, from humble beginnings, is desperate to be trained in magic. Emilie and Annette swap lives: Annette attends finishing school as a noble lady to be trained in the ways of divination, while Emilie enrolls to be a physician's assistant, using her natural magical talent to save lives. But when their nation instigates a frivolous war, the two must work together to help the rebellion end a war that is based on lies. -- adapted from jacket
