The Shadows Between Us
Tricia Levenseller, author of Daughter of the Pirate King, is back with an epic YA tale of ambition and love in 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

Tricia Levenseller
Tricia Levenseller writes the kinds of stories that refuse to play by the rules. Whether her heroines are commanding pirate crews, plotting thrones, or forging weapons laced with magic, her worlds shimmer with danger and desire in equal measure. A #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she has carved out a place at the forefront of romantasy, the space where fantasy adventure and slow-burn romance collide, each fueling the other.
Her path to publication was far from instant. Growing up in Oregon, she spent more time in imagined kingdoms than in the real one, scribbling down adventures that stretched far beyond her backyard. After studying English Language and Editing, she thought she might work behind the scenes polishing others’ stories. Instead, after several early manuscripts and more than a few rejections, she discovered her own voice, the sharp, witty, morally gray edge that would define her debut, Daughter of the Pirate King. That novel and its sequel, Daughter of the Siren Queen, quickly won her a devoted readership, proving that swashbuckling heroines still have the power to capture hearts.
