Sie sind Magier – die beiden einzigen in Russland. Und erbitterte Gegner, denn nur einer von ihnen kann der neue Magier des Zaren werden. Der Verlierer muss sterben. Und so treten Vika und Nikolai im »Spiel der Krone« gegeneinander an, in dessen Verlauf sie sich gefährlich nahe kommen. Kann ihre Liebe den Verlauf des Spiels verändern und den Tod verhindern?

Elodie never dreamed of a lavish palace or a handsome prince. Growing up in
the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, her deepest wish was to help her people
survive each winter. So when a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom
offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for her hand in
marriage, she accepts without hesitation. Swept away to the glistening kingdom
of Aurea, she is quickly enchanted by the beauty of its people - and of its
prince. But as Elodie begins the rituals to become an Aurean princess, the
cracks in the kingdom's perfect veneer begin to show. Too late, she discovers
that its wealth has been purchased at a heavy cost - each harvest season,
Aurea sacrifices its princesses to the dragon powering its prosperity. And
Elodie is next.This ancient arrangement has persisted for centuries, leading
hundreds of women to their deaths. But those who came before her did not go
quietly. Their blood pulses with power and memory, and a magic that holds the
key to her survival. Forced to fight for her life, this damsel must use her
wits to defeat a dragon, uncover Aurea's past, and save not only herself, but
the future of her kingdom too.
A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic
fantasy. Based on a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, this is a groundbreaking
collaboration between New York Times bestselling author Evelyn Skye and the
team behind the upcoming Netflix film Damsel, starring Millie Bobby Brown.
