Let's Play at Love

You don’t refuse an emperor—even if he’s the future emperor. Amalia knew this, and so she humbly accepted a proposal from Crown Prince Leopold. Behind her lies first love; ahead is calm, measured life with a husband she doesn’t love. But what if both the fiancé and his father are dead, and the emperor is proclaimed the crown prince’s cousin? And while the agreements between the countries remain the same, things around them are anything but peaceful—plus the new emperor himself is far from pleased with the situation. And on top of that: intrigues with the ladies-in-waiting, dissatisfaction among the people, fueled by newspapers. To preserve the empire, one must stage a fairytale—and… play at love. And not even the Creator knows where this game will lead.
