Lada
Dracul has no allies. No throne. All she has is what she’s always had: herself.
After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada is out to punish anyone who
dares to cross her blood-strewn path. Filled with a white-hot rage, she storms
the countryside with her men, accompanied by her childhood friend Bogdan,
terrorizing the land. But brute force isn’t getting Lada what she wants. And
thinking of Mehmed brings little comfort to her thorny heart. There’s no time
to wonder whether he still thinks about her, even loves her. She left him
before he could leave her.
What
Lada needs is her younger brother Radu’s subtlety and skill. But Mehmed has
sent him to Constantinople—and it’s no diplomatic mission. Mehmed wants control
of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a double-crossing spy behind
enemy lines. Radu longs for his sister’s fierce confidence—but for the first
time in his life, he rejects her unexpected plea for help. Torn between
loyalties to faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, he knows he owes Lada
nothing. If she dies, he could never forgive himself—but if he fails in
Constantinople, will Mehmed ever forgive him?

NO ONE EXPECTS A PRINCESS TO BE BRUTAL.
And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival. She and Radu are doomed to act as pawns in a vicious game, an unseen sword hovering over their every move. For the lineage that makes them special also makes them targets.
Lada despises the Ottomans and bides her time, planning her vengeance for the day when she can return to Wallachia and claim her birthright. Radu longs only for a place where he feels safe. And when they meet Mehmed, the defiant and lonely son of the sultan, who’s expected to rule a nation, Radu feels that he’s made a true friend—and Lada wonders if she’s finally found someone worthy of her passion.
But Mehmed is heir to the very empire that Lada has sworn to fight against—and that Radu now considers home. Together, Lada, Radu, and Mehmed form a toxic triangle that strains the bonds of love and loyalty to the breaking point.
