Publisher's summary

Talk my way into royalty? Easier said than done. Henry was just an ordinary tavern keeper, helping to run the doomed family business. When the Royal Tradesmen's Ball rolled around, he—like usual—wanted nothing to do with it. But the fourth-in-line Lady Garnet offered him a proposal. She wished to shock her family with an outrageous stunt: appearing to court a commoner. He agreed on one condition: no more strangling the tavern.

Little did the lady know, Henry had a grander plan. Using his charms, he'd raise his lowly family name to unfathomable heights. He would talk his way into royalty. Though he didn't count on forming a friendship with the castle's dorky dark-elf librarian, nor did he think he'd catch feelings for both her and the Lady Garnet.

It wasn't all fun and games at the castle. A dark presence loomed in the shadows, darting silently across the rooftops at night, hunting the members of aristocracy it deemed unworthy of the title. Had Henry bitten off more than he could chew?

Scheming, Drama, and a Wholesome Experience.

This is a combination of good storytelling and great dual-narrators. An intelligent and driven MC is granted an opportunity to better himself and his family after a once in a lifetime encounter. The story focuses on the conniving noble class being worn down by the endurance of the common folk (in more ways than one XD).

Truly excellent

This is the best harem novel I've read all yeah. Easily the Mason's best work. He's slowly improved as a writer, especially in dialogue and character development.

Another Masonic Epic

Like any bonfire this one starts off a little cold and slow, by the end the plot line roaring hot and fast enough that there’s a cliff hanger looming over a desire for book two.

Of course there are a few adult scenes but Mr. Mason is talented enough that they are just kindling for the plot twists. Cassandra weaves a skillful narrative performance as two of the three main characters and wonderfully conveys the individual personality of each female character through accent, pitch and emotion; yet still keeping in character for the multiple chapters in which she has the opportunity to take the lead narrative position. Mr. North completes the triumvirate of talent by encapsulating the haughty nature of someone who wants to climb the ladder of nobility like King Kong’s ascent of the Empire State Building.
