Muerte y fortuna

Vanja Schmidt knows that nothing is free, not even a mother's love, and she has incurred one hell of a debt. As the adopted goddaughter of Death and Fortune, Vanja was Princess Gisele's dedicated servant until a year ago. But then her heavenly mothers demanded the price for her care and Vanja decided to reclaim her future... usurping Gisele's life. With the help of an enchanted pearl necklace, Vanja transformed into her former mistress and took her place, leaving the real Gisele ruined and in the shadows. She now leads a solitary but lucrative double life as princess and jewel thief, charming the nobility and then emptying her coffers in order to finance her great escape. But when she is one robbery away from freedom, Vanja crosses the wrong goddess... and she is doomed to a terrible end: she will turn into jewels, stone by stone, as punishment for her greed. With a savage demigoddess as her guardian, Gisele's sinister fiancé, and an enthusiastic rookie detective hot on her heels, Vanja only has two weeks to pull off her biggest con if she doesn't want to risk losing more than just her freedom: her own life.
