In the deadly world of court intrigue, love is the most dangerous game of all.
Desperate and out of options, penniless noblewoman Kat accepts a high-stakes job: spy on Bastian Marwood, the enigmatic and powerful Shadow of the Night Queen. He’s ruthless, cunning—and maddeningly alluring.
What begins as a mission for survival turns into a perilous game of secrets and seduction. Kat must uncover Bastian’s true intentions without losing her own heart in the process. But Bastian’s shadows don’t just follow him… they whisper to her, tempting her toward a darkness she’s not sure she wants to resist.
In a court where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, Kat must decide who she can trust—before she’s the one being played.
