Sins of the Succession

On her wedding night, Lady Evelyn was forced to drink a poison that robbed her of her future. "Be graceful," Prince Cedric sneered, choosing his mistress over his wife. But Evelyn is back from the dead. This time, when the poisoned chalice is raised, she elegantly lets the Prince drain every drop. With the Prince now sterile and the royal succession in ruins, Evelyn annuls the marriage and turns to the only man Cedric fears: General Alistair, the Silver Wolf of the North. Let the Prince keep his mistress and his lies—Evelyn is busy building a new empire with a man who knows that a real Queen isn't "graceful"—she’s powerful.
