The Shadows Between Us

By Tricia Levenseller
The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller digital book - Fable

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!

“3.5! It’s a really good young adult fantasy romance book! Minimal spice and all at a PG-13 level. The plot developed at a pretty steady pace that kept me engaged and interested! The beginning kind of stalled out which had me questioning the progression of the book, but the ending turned out really good and had a great twist that I didn’t see! I’ll definitely read the second book as well!”
“As an enemy to lovers story, it was a good story. I was frustrated when there were a few different times where a would be assassin would “end up in the dungeons”. No confrontation, no battle, no admittance of guilt. Nothing. Not even a struggle with guards and a bad word. Yes, the final assassination attempt had more of a confrontation, but it was all pretty… meh.”
