Ambition, court intrigue, and a dangerous courtship

Alessandra’s plan to marry the Shadow King and then take his kingdom makes ambition the story’s driving force. But the king is surrounded by uncertainty: rumors describe shadows that obey him or reveal his enemies’ thoughts, while attempts on his life complicate Alessandra’s calculations. Her effort to keep him alive long enough to become his queen introduces a conflict between political advantage and the possibility of losing her heart. The premise brings romance into a court shaped by secrecy, competing schemes, and a heroine who openly embraces cunning.

Book overview

Tricia Levenseller, author of Daughter of the Pirate King, is back with an epic YA tale of ambition and love in the New York Times bestselling novel, The Shadows Between Us...

"They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will."

Alessandra is tired of being overlooked, but she has a plan to gain power:
1) Woo the Shadow King.
2) Marry him.
3) Kill him and take his kingdom for herself.

No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King's power. Some say he can command the shadows that swirl around him to do his bidding. Others say they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of his enemies. Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she's going to do everything within her power to get it.

But Alessandra's not the only one trying to kill the king. As attempts on his life are made, she finds herself trying to keep him alive long enough for him to make her his queen--all while struggling not to lose her heart. After all, who better for a Shadow King than a cunning, villainous queen?

"Tricia Levenseller's latest, The Shadows Between Us, is a decadent and wickedly addictive fantasy, full of schemes and court intrigue, and delightful descriptions of food, which I am always a fan of." --Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series

And don't miss the companion novel, The Darkness Within Us--an instant #1 New York Times-bestseller!
