Ambition at the Shadow King’s court

Alessandra’s plan to win the Shadow King’s hand—and then take his throne—puts romance and political ambition on a collision course. When other people begin trying to kill the king, she has reason to protect the very person she intended to eliminate, while guarding against an attachment that could complicate her goal. The book’s fantasy court intrigue is built around shifting motives, a ruler whose shadowy powers are rumored but not fully understood, and a heroine who openly claims a taste for cunning and villainy. Its central tension comes from the gap between Alessandra’s bid for control and the possibility that her feelings may not follow her strategy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young adult fantasy romance.
  • Readers who enjoy court intrigue and characters pursuing power through schemes.
  • Readers looking for a romance premise complicated by assassination attempts and conflicting motives.

Book overview

Tricia Levenseller, author of Daughter of the Pirate King, is back with an epic YA tale of ambition and love in 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!
