The Princess in the Tower... Crown Princess Charlotte of Candonia has fought to make her own choices and decisions for years. She refuses to let anyone take that power from her. Ever. Her only allowance is her kingdom, she will sacrifice everything to keep it and her family safe. Even face the conqueror that threatens all she holds dear... The Enemy at the Gates... Evan the Black will do whatever it takes to reach his ultimate goal: a free Aellolyn. Sold into slavery at five, Evan's disdain for royalty is outmatched only by his disdain for slavers. He's burned a path through the continent, forcing royalty to outlaw the abhorrent practice at sword point. But it's not enough. In order to make a lasting change, he needs to be more than a conqueror; he needs to be royal. The Future of the World in the Balance... Evan strips Charlotte of her treasured choice with a simple threat: marry me or I'll kill your father, then I'll marry you, anyway. Now forced into a marriage with the last person they would ever choose to wed, Charlotte and Evan find themselves drawn to the other, but the tasks before them are daunting. Evan is pulled in two directions, one the future he wishes to build and the other the wife he can't stop thinking about. Charlotte faces disapproval and disdain from all directions, whether it be from her husband's mute general who communicates solely in hand signals or the rest of the men and women in camp who don't even bother to conceal their hatred for her. But their greatest enemies are within...

The tumultuous, edge-of-your-seat conclusion to the New York Times bestselling AND I DARKEN series--the epic saga that reads like Game of Thrones . . . if it were set in the Ottoman Empire. Who will live? Who will die? And who will rule triumphant? Haunted by the sacrifices he made in Constantinople, Radu is called back to the new capital. Mehmed is building an empire, becoming the sultan his people need. But Mehmed has a secret: as emperor, he is more powerful than ever . . . and desperately lonely. Does this mean Radu can finally have more with Mehmed . . . and would he even want it? Lada's rule of absolute justice has created a Wallachia free of crime. But Lada won't rest until everyone knows that her country's borders are inviolable. Determined to send a message of defiance, she has the bodies of Mehmed's peace envoy delivered to him, leaving Radu and Mehmed with no choice. If Lada is allowed to continue, only death will prosper. They must go to war against the girl prince. But Mehmed knows that he loves her. He understands her. She must lose to him so he can keep her safe. Radu alone fears that they are underestimating his sister's indomitable will. Only by destroying everything that came before--including her relationships--can Lada truly build the country she wants. Claim the throne. Demand the crown. Rule the world. "Rich . . .

A crown can be won, blood cannot be changed. The Conqueror's Queen is the third title in Joanna Courtney's sweeping historical series, The Queens of Conquest. William of Normandy is a rough man, but what more can you expect of an illegitimate son trying to muscle his way into a dukedom? After a violent start to their courtship, Mathilda of Flanders discovers William to be a man of unexpected sensitivity, driven by two goals: to prove himself by becoming a great ruler and to build a warm and secure family. Mathilda has grown up safe in the love of her powerful parents, her rough and tumble brothers and, above all, her younger sister and closest confidante, Judith. Now, though, they must separate. Judith marries the glamorous Earl Torr and departs for life in England and Mathilda heads to Normandy with William. When William's cousin King Edward of England weakens, his eyes are cast across the narrow sea to the glittering throne he promised Mathilda as a young bride. Mathilda supports him keenly in his challenge, longing to live close to her sister once more. But as reward for his support for William, Torr wants more than William is prepared to cede and there will be no alliance. The two sisters find themselves not only on either side of a sea but of a bitter battle, and the events of 1066 bring great personal loss, as well as victory, to the Conqueror's Queen.
