Publisher Description
Tricia Levenseller, author of Daughter of the Pirate King, is back with an epic YA tale of ambition and love in the New York Times bestselling novel, The Shadows Between Us…
“They’ve never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.”
Alessandra is tired of being overlooked, but she has a plan to gain power:
1) Woo the Shadow King.
2) Marry him.
3) Kill him and take his kingdom for herself.
No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King’s power. Some say he can command the shadows that swirl around him to do his bidding. Others say they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of his enemies. Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she’s going to do everything within her power to get it.
But Alessandra’s not the only one trying to kill the king. As attempts on his life are made, she finds herself trying to keep him alive long enough for him to make her his queen—all while struggling not to lose her heart. After all, who better for a Shadow King than a cunning, villainous queen?
“Tricia Levenseller’s latest, The Shadows Between Us, is a decadent and wickedly addictive fantasy, full of schemes and court intrigue, and delightful descriptions of food, which I am always a fan of.” —Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series
And don't miss the companion novel, The Darkness Within Us—an instant #1 New York Times-bestseller!

wish there was smut but good book
Better than expected
I thought this was going to be a shallow, run of the mill type slow burn.
But no.
This is incredible. Finished it in one day and could not put it down.
Only qualm is after the first few chapters I have no idea why she wanted to kill the king. She brings it up as a main story point but I totally forgot why she wanted to kill him and there for her efforts felt pointless and stupid. They figure it out though.
Absolutely 10/10, got me into reading again. Thank you author for your incredible piece of art <3
Ahem
This book? Amazing. I initially thought there would be smut but there wasn’t. The slow burn was definitely slow burning but it made me want to keep reading. Ended up finishing 3 days into starting. 5/5. Def NOT my favorite but it is WAY up there.
