Cinna has achieved what she always wanted: power, wealth, and the ultimate status symbol — a crown. In marrying Prince Hans, she should be able to leave her old life as a servant behind. But even though her old family is dead and the only person who could expose her imprisoned, her past won’t leave her alone. Her husband’s throne is threatened and her own position is precarious, so Cinna will have to turn to what she does best — scheming, conning, and killing her way to a secure future.

With her in-laws out of the way, Cinna has finally gotten the premiere title: queen. Now all she has to do is keep her husband from discovering the truth about what got him crowned—and she only sees one way to do it. She has to start a war to cover her tracks and eliminate anyone who might reveal the truth. But her old friend Johann is in a new position of authority across the sea, with the Senate's ear and ties to the enemy throne. For once, he’s playing by her rules, and doing it well.

By the end of the night, the castle’s on lockdown, a duchess is dead, a mansion has burned to the ground.
