You'll believe her, because you know she's more than 150 years old and a witch, and she has all of Paris in the palm of her hand. But Madame de Morville hides more behind her black robes than you know. Her real age, the mother and uncle who left her for dead, the inner workings of the most secret society of Parisian witches: none of these truths would help her outwit the rich who so desperately want the promise of the future. After all, it's her own future she must control, no matter how much it is painted with uncertainty and clouded by vengeance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Praise for \u003cem\u003eThe Oracle Glass\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Absorbing and arresting.--\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFascinating and factual.--\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChilly, witty, and completely engrossing ... great, good fun.--\u003cem\u003e Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTake a full cup of wit, two teaspoons of brimstone, and a dash of poison, and you have Judith Merkle Riley's mordant, compelling tale \u003c\/strong\u003eof an ambitious young woman who disguises herself as an ancient prophetess in order to gain entry into the dangerous, scheming glamour of the Sun King's court.
