For fans of Holly Black’s THE CRUEL PRINCE and Kiera Cass’s THE SELECTION.
All her life, seventeen-year-old Caterina “Cat” Lancer has been told who she must be—a lady, a virtuous daughter, a pawn. Never herself. Within the glittering court of the Kingdom of Hearts, she plays up the role of nobleman’s daughter to perfection, bound by duty and her father’s ambition. But beneath the facade, Cat hides a tantalising secret: the ability to heal. A desirable power, but one that, if revealed, will ensure her a life of servitude in the court of Hearts.
When word arrives that the King of Spades has died and his disagreeable son, Prince Khyron, must find a bride before he can take his crown, Cat sees an opportunity. For ninety days, the court of Spades will open its doors to every eligible noblewoman. And though Cat and Khyron were once childhood enemies, she volunteers to attend—hoping not for a crown, but for a way out.
Thrown into a world of political schemes and tenuous alliances, the court of Spades may not be the answer it seems. Quick to dismiss Cat’s genuine interest, Khyron instead recruits her “sharp, scheming” mind to help him unearth a deadly plot within his court. But amid crumbling masks, whispered betrayals, and the rising threat of war from the ambitious Kingdom of Clubs, Cat must decide if her power is better kept hidden . . . or wielded for herself.
