Masquerade

Mariana Benson, Paulette Johnson, and Ivy Friesner escaped from their death sentence in 1870; Mariana and Paulette escaped on the pirate ship, and then went onto sail the seas, while Ivy stayed behind, in Alabastor. Henry Winchester proceeded to marry Abigail Grey.

In 1871, Captain Mark and his crew dock in London for a short while to exchange one of the ropes that had kept the sails unfurled, after it snapped during a particularly dreadful storm. While wandering around, in search of some food to take with them, Mariana and Paulette soon discover that they've been left behind. When they go to try and get a room at a hotel, Mariana is mistaken for another person. She figures that, until she can contact Captain Mark, she'll fall into the role and gain what she needs to do so. What will happen when Mariana totally falls into the role? Will she forget why she assumed the identity in the first place?

Henry Winchester is married to Abigail Grey, and he is anything but happy about it. His mind is full of thoughts of Mariana and guilt of what he did to her. Now, he struggles with trying to make the best of his marital situation.

Ivy Friesner has led a lonely life ever since Mariana and Paulette had left. Her tavern had gone downhill, but one night, when a straggler comes into her tavern, Ivy's world gets turned around.

In this sequel, a friendship will be tested, a relationship will take a turn for the worst, and a life will be transformed.
