Unkindness of Crimson Queen

Trapped between her own grief and an impending war that threatens to destroy everything Cordelia learned to love, vengeance is her only solace—no matter the cost.
And the cost is insurmountable when the enemy is always two steps ahead and her own shadows thread their claws through her soul, holding it hostage.
Shadows that cannot be fought off with swords.
Shadows that destroy from within.
Heartbroken and blinded by revenge, Cordelia must unveil her sheltered heart to the one who betrayed her the most before the darkness destroys what little remains.

Little does she know… Francis is willing to sacrifice everything to protect his Princess… Even his own life.
