In an interstellar kingdom where shapeshifters rule by paranoia, three royal siblings fight a plot to bring their family--and humanity--down.
Arianna's always been the perfect heir, the obedient future ruler of her interstellar kingdom. But when Arianna's royal shapeshifting abilities fail her publicly and disastrously at her engagement ball, she suddenly finds herself on the outside of the life she called her own.
Dressa's the perfect socialite, the opposite of her older sister's rigid control. When her sister goes down with a mysterious illness and is sent away from court, Dressa's thrust into a position she never wanted. She's ordered to impersonate Arianna—her body, her name, her personality, everything—and court her sister's bride-to-be.
Who's gorgeous. And who's likely been sent to take her family down.
When nothing and no one are as they seem and alien war is brewing in the shadows, these siblings must race to uncover the plots around them and find a way to make their lives their own.
What to expect:
Big old school epic fantasy and space opera
Slow build alien mysteries and intricate worldbuilding
LGBT main characters kicking butt and taking names
Multiple POV characters
Several running romantic plots
Court intrigue! All the court intrigue
Space opera with a healthy dose of magic
