About this listen
‘Scandalous, funny and deliciously compelling!’ Catherine Doyle, co-author of Twin Crowns
'All hail this royal debut that twists, turns, and revels in palace intrigue and deceit.' Kirkus
James has been a prince all his life, and since he was born, he’s been thrust into the spotlight as the first Black heir to the throne. But when his father dies unexpectedly, James is crowned king at the tender age of seventeen, and his life irrevocably changes.
When James’ boyfriend suddenly goes missing, threatening envelopes appear in the palace, and gossip and scandals that only he knows are leaked to the public. As the anonymous informant continues to expose every last skeleton in the royal closet, James realises even those in his inner circle can’t be trusted.
