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

The Victorian language of flowers was used to express emotions: honeysuckle for devotion, azaleas for passion, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it has been more useful in communicating feelings like grief, mistrust and solitude.

Seattle. È l'alba e il piccolo William si stropiccia gli occhi neri. Ancora avvolto nelle coperte, sente canzoni sussurrate in una lingua antica. Da cinque anni, però, non ascolta la voce di sua madre, da quando è entrato nell'orfanotrofio, dove la disciplina ha preso il posto delle carezze e l'odio è diventato la norma. William è diverso, è cinese. Oggi, nel giorno del compleanno di tutti i bambini dell'istituto, trova il coraggio di chiedere cosa sia successo a sua madre. Le risposte sono vaghe, ma una parola trafigge il suo cuore: è morta. William non ci crede e non vuole arrendersi. Sa che è ancora viva e l'unica con cui può confidarsi è Charlotte, una ragazza dai capelli rossi e dalla pelle delicata. Insieme decidono di fuggire dall'orfanotrofio per cercare sua madre, ma il mondo che li attende è pericoloso e oscuro. Le strade di Seattle nei primi anni Trenta sono violente, piene di locali e teatri. Qui, William incontra lo sguardo di una giovane cantante cinese, un incontro che non dimenticherà. Deve scoprire chi è e cosa nasconde. Nessun ostacolo è troppo grande, perché ora la speranza di essere amati e al sicuro potrebbe finalmente tornare a crescere.
