A love to choose.
A crown to claim.
Against all odds, Virdei overcame neighboring kingdom Petruvia’s invasion attempt. But Mira Kyler can’t rejoice with everyone else. Her mother, Aja, was kidnapped, and Mira suspects she’s being held hostage by Petruvian forces.
Despite Kaidren’s efforts to stop her, Mira sneaks into the Petruvian castle, disguised as a thief. She’s certain her lie-detecting magic will help her find her mother. But for all her schemes, she never saw the ruthless Prince Raevin coming.
Prince Raevin makes Mira an offer he’s certain she won’t be able to refuse: Pretend to be his betrothed. In exchange for her help defeating his siblings in the race for the Petruvian throne, Mira will rule alongside Prince Raevin as his true equal.
At first, Prince Raevin is only a means to an end—finding Aja and returning home to be with Kaidren—but as Mira peels back the layers of the icy prince, she finds that they are more alike than not. With everything she’s ever worked for at her fingertips, she must ask herself what she wants most: love, or power?

Critic reviews
With a sharp-witted, cunning lead protagonist and relentless court intrigue, To Steal a Throne kept me turning the pages late into the night. Remira is keenly observant and unsparing—think Lady Whistledown, if her power fed on lies and secrets. Beneath her ruthless determination is a fierce loyalty that fuels every calculated move, even as a dangerous rival who threatens to undo everything she’s built begins to blur into something that unravels more than just her plans. Smart, well-paced, and expertly crafted, To Steal a Throne hits all the right notes.
After completely enthralling me with the Sing Me to Sleep duology, Gabi Burton has once again ensnared me with her unique brand of storytelling magic in To Steal a Throne, an immediately immersive story entwined with an addictive, steamy romance and a deeply nuanced theme around truths and lies and how they shape our worlds and our destinies. Burton has again proven why she’s one of my favorite fantasy authors out right now.
Gabi Burton is the queen of dark fantasy, and To Steal a Throne further cements her as one of the titans of the genre by introducing a wintery, mountainous world where a scheming heroine in a political nest of vipers must step from the shadows to truly claim the power she has always secretly wielded. If you haven't picked up one of her thrilling, insightful, and diverse epic fantasies, you are truly missing out.
With a propulsive plot, astounding twists, and the most delectable tension between rivals to lovers, To Steal a Throne left me completely enraptured ... Gabi Burton is a masterful storyteller with a knack for writing deeply compelling, morally gray characters you can’t help but root for.
"Burton weaves an intricate plot that cleverly capitalizes on ingenious worldbuilding and lore to engineer exponentially increasing stakes and suspense. Mira’s engaging and ruthlessly determined first-person narration foments drive, while her and Kaidren’s antagonistic flirtation injects heart and heat."
Fast-paced and compulsively readable. . . expertly combines strong worldbuilding with political intrigue.
This is an electrifying beginning to a new series that promises political intrigue and a heart-pounding romance.
A must-purchase for YA collections serving readers who crave morally gray heroines, intricate politics, and deeply immersive fantasy worlds.
