Innocence Imprisoned - Court of Mystery, #12

The tables have turned for the Duchess. With the grim aftermath of the War Council behind her at last, Duchess Jacqueline Arienta Xavier is ready to head home to Saphire. Now seated on the thrones of Hestes, Kwatalar, and Crepsta, Jacqueline longs to return to her beloved duchy to regroup with her allies and extinguish the threat growing within Pettraud. Yet, on the eve before her departure, Jax receives an invitation from Duchess Persephone, the new sovereign of Tandora.
Persephone is desperate for Jax's help. She wishes to reshape her duchy, enacting the same social and political changes Jax has implemented across her own holdings. However, the nation's charter requires the approval of a Grand Chancellery for such matters, and Persephone does not believe the council's High Chancellors are on her side. Seizing the opportunity to bring equality to more corners of the realm, Jax delays her return home and, instead, sets off on a diplomatic mission to aid her new ally with her husband and friends by her side.
Yet, shortly after the Saphire delegation's arrival, Jax happens upon a dead body. She suddenly finds herself in the crosshairs of the Tandorian Ducal Guard's investigation..accused of the gruesome murder.
