Marry the prince, then kill him.

A twisty, dark royalcore fantasy that takes the courtly intrigue of Hamlet and infuses it with the vicious ambition of the Boleyn family.

When Princess Madalina’s twin sister Inessa dies, it changes Madalina’s life forever. Thrust into taking Inessa’s place to wed the prince of a neighboring land, she also steps into Inessa’s real role of assassin of her husband-to-be. But what other secrets are being kept from her by her sister? Will she succeed in resisting Prince Aeric’s charms - and in her mission? Autumn Krause’s newest book will take you down dark paths and through dangerous gardens, sure to appeal to fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black.
