Who needs a wedding ring when you can pick up a sword? A remarkable and utterly inventive novel from Sharon Cameron, author of THE DARK UNWINDING, which USA TODAY called "spellbindingly imaginative."History has a way of repeating itself. In the Sunken City that was once Paris, all who oppose the new revolution are being put to the blade. Except for those who disappear from their prison cells, a red-tipped rook feather left in their place. Is the mysterious Red Rook a savior of the innocent or a criminal?Meanwhile, across the sea in the Commonwealth, Sophia Bellamy's arranged marriage to the wealthy René Hasard is the last chance to save her family from ruin. But when the search for the Red Rook comes straight to her doorstep, Sophia discovers that her fiancé is not all he seems. Which is only fair, because neither is she. As the Red Rook grows bolder and the stakes grow higher, Sophia and René find themselves locked in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse. Daring intrigue, delicious romance, and spine-tingling suspense fill the pages of this extraordinary tale from award-winning author Sharon Cameron.

"I was afraid it would be slow after the detached beginning but the more I read the more I got into it. By the time I finished it it was a new favorite. The characters and the dialogue are so clever and fun. The way the plot speeds up as it goes and the way the scenes are described is cinematic is an amazing way. It's dramatic in the best way possible. Also enemies to lovers. One of my core comfort reads now."
"WOW!!! This book is a PERFECT slow-burn drama book!!! I've been anticipating this read for about a year now and it has EXCEEDED all of my expectations!!!! I thought I had had all the plot twists figured out but it turned out I didn't have *any* of them figured out!!!! This was written extremely well and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes slow-burn romances and high class drama!!!!"
