The White Queen (Paperback)

The crown is powerful. The crown is desired. The crown is deadly.

The House of Silverswann has long avoided the Choosing of Queens, but this time, there is no escape for Alianna Silverswann. Forced to compete for a crown she does not want, Alianna starts down a twisted, manipulative path, a path the White Queen's set for her specifically. Her skill and quick thinking might outwit her fellow peers, but it won't be enough to trick the Queen. To get out of this ceremony alive, Alianna would have to make the right friends, both within and out of the Court. But the Queen has eyes everywhere, and time is running short. If Alianna doesn't eliminate herself from the ceremony by the twelfth moon, she will be crowned Queen-- the title that comes with the steepest of prices: madness.
