How can you win against the man who makes the rules?
An unexpected confession from my husband has left me reeling. How can I trust him after everything hes put me through? This feels like one more layer in his sadistic game.
I cant let his secret matter, not when Im so close to claiming the empire and setting all its horrors right with the princes I love by my side.
But as we set off on a tour of the conquered countries, my resolve is tested at every turn. One moment, my husband is reveling in tormenting the innocent—the next, hes proving he can be as tender as he is cruel. To play to win, I have to walk a tightrope between both sides.
Is it possible part of him could be redeemed? Uncovering the answer could lead me to my greatest victory—or my most fatal mistake.
