Vika Andreyeva can summon the snow and turn ash into gold. Nikolai Karimov can see through walls and conjure bridges out of thin air.They are enchantersโthe only two in Russiaโand with the Ottoman Empire and the Kazakhs threatening, the tsar needs a powerful enchanter by his side. And so he initiates the Crownโs Game, an ancient duel of magical skill. The victor becomes the Imperial Enchanter and the tsarโs most respected adviser. The defeated is sentenced to death.
Raised on tiny Ovchinin Island her whole life, Vika is eager for the chance to show off her talent in the grand capital of Saint Petersburg. But can she kill another enchanterโeven when his magic calls to her like nothing else ever has?
For Nikolai, an orphan, the Crownโs Game is the chance of a lifetime. But his deadly opponent is a force to be reckoned withโbeautiful, whip smart, imaginativeโand he canโt stop thinking about her.
And when Pasha, Nikolaiโs best friend and heir to the throne, also starts to fall for the mysterious enchantress, Nikolai must defeat the girl they both love . . . or be killed himself.
As long-buried secrets emerge, threatening the future of the empire, it becomes dangerously clear . . . the Crownโs Game is not one to lose. ISBN:9780062560605
