他们还没找到第一个也是唯一一个让我伤心的男孩的尸体。他们永远不会。”

亚历山德拉厌倦了被忽视，但她有一个获得权力的计划：

1） 向影王求爱。

2） 嫁给他。

3） 杀了他，把他的王国据为己有。

没有人知道刚刚加冕的影王的力量有多大。有人说，他可以命令周围的阴影做他的命令。其他人说他们和他说话，低声说出他的敌人的想法。不管怎样，亚历山德拉知道她应该得到什么，她会尽她所能得到它。

但亚历山德拉不是唯一一个想杀死国王的人。当人们试图夺走他的生命时，她发现自己努力让他活得足够长，让他把她变成王后，同时努力不让自己失去信心。毕竟，对于一个影子王来说，谁能比一个狡猾、邪恶的王后更好呢？

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?
