Book Summary:

In winter's Queendom, unrest is simmering. The seventeen years of peace following the Great War are fading away. And the revolution is beginning.

As heir to the throne, seventeen year old Princess Alessandra finds her responsibility too soon tested the night her parents are burnt alive, leaving her guardian to her four younger siblings and the realm itself.

Her walls of luxury and security are broken apart. The arrival of the infamous thief, Jude Chase, awakens her to the internal corruption lying within her perfect court, and the Queen she must become to hold her family and world together. But Jude has motivations of his own, and with the serial murders of Alessandra's closest allies, she knows she can trust no one.

No one is content under the uncertain rule, and grudges held from long ago spark to life once again. Threats hide in every direction, and each want a piece of the power the princess holds in her grasp.

In order of appearance:

Alessia

Princess of the realm and heir to the throne, Alessia's life falls apart the day her parents are burned alive. Determined that their deaths were no accident, she enlists help from the most untrustworthy of thieves, as well as her best friend Veronica, and her four siblings, over whom she now has complete responsibility. Confident, unconventional, and loyal to a fault, Alessia is also honest, impatient and rebellious. At seventeen, the weight of the realm, and the world, rests on her shoulders.

Veronica

Veronica Winmond has been best friends with the heir to the throne since she was thirteen, and has lived in the palace for as long. Daughter to the royal chef, she has became an educated, fun, trusting social butterfly, though she is also naïve and hates commitment of any kind. When her security is taken away and danger is injected into her life, she must decide her loyalties - what part will she play in the upcoming war, and whose side will she be on?
