A Game of Shadows Where Hearts Are the Ultimate Prize
Alessandra Stathos isn't trying to save the world-she's trying to rule it. In a realm where court intrigue is as deadly as poison, this calculating young woman has developed a sophisticated pattern: collect lovers, extract expensive gifts, document their secrets, and discard them when they no longer serve her purpose. When her sister's engagement finally frees her from the societal rule requiring second daughters to wait their turn to marry, Alessandra reveals her true ambition: to seduce the Shadow King, marry him, and then kill him to take his kingdom. It's a plan years in the making, backed by meticulous research and a network of connections she's carefully cultivated. What makes her compelling despite her ruthlessness is her genuine brilliance-particularly her revolutionary fashion designs that challenge traditional norms and serve as both art and armor in her quest for power. Her understanding of influence extends beyond mere control; she recognizes that true power comes from manipulating perceptions, a skill she's honed to perfection.
