Lady Grace encounters a panther and it's owner Banoo Yasmine who has a ruby of great beauty. Banoo Yasmine is seeking asylum and offers the ruby as surety, when it is stolen, one of Grace's friends is blamed.

I had my suspicions but some of them turned out to be untrue. Fun read, light and not too involved. It's starting to lose some of it's earlier spark but still enjoyable. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385733224, Hardcover)

There’s a new arrival—a mysterious and exotic young princess—at Court and Lady Grace can’t believe how many rumours there are about her already. The exiled Banoo Yasmine from Sharakand is a beautiful girl with a pet panther and, everyone believes, magical powers. Yasmine also possesses the renowned Heart of Kings Ruby, a huge stone that she wears around her neck to balls and feasts, that legend says has the power to make kings. When the famed jewel goes missing, the finger is pointed at Grace’s dear friend Ellie the laundry maid. Grace must prove her friend’s innocence, find the true thief, and restore the stone to its rightful owner.
All miscreants and ill-thinkers, keep out!
