Â“You will bow before this queen.Â” Â—Sara Raasch, New York Times bestselling author of Night of the Witch

Â“Revenge and justice have never been so satisfying!Â” Â— Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles

In this riveting historical thriller inspired by true-life events, Belladonna meets Bridgerton as revenge, romance, and twisted secrets take center stage in Victorian EnglandÂ’s royal court when Sally, a kidnapped African princess and goddaughter to Queen Victoria, plots her way to take down the monarchy that stole her from her homeland.

A young lady can take only so many injuries before humiliation and insult forge a vow of revenge . . .

The year is 1862 and murderous desires are simmering in England. Nineteen-year-old Sarah Bonetta Forbes (Sally), once a princess of the Egbado Clan, desires one thing above all else: revenge against the British Crown and its system of colonial "humanitarianism," which stole her dignity and transformed her into royal property. From military men to political leaders, sheÂ’s vowed to ruin all whoÂ’ve had a hand in her afflictions. The top of her list? Her godmother, BritainÂ’s mighty monarch, Queen Victoria herself.

Taking down the Crown means entering into a twisted game of court politics and manipulating the QueenÂ’s inner circleÂ—even if that means aligning with a dangerous yet alluring crime lord in LondonÂ’s underworld and exploiting the affections of Queen VictoriaÂ’s own son, Prince Albert, as a means to an end. But when Queen Victoria begins to suspect SallyÂ’s true intentions, she plays the only card in Victorian society that could possibly cage Sally once again: marriage. Because if thereÂ’s one thing Sally desires more than revenge, itÂ’s her freedom. With time running out and her wedding day looming, SallyÂ’s vengeful game of cat and mouse turns deadly as sheÂ’s faced with the striking revelation that the price for vengeance isnÂ’t just paid in blood. It means sacrificing your heart.

Inspired by the true story of Sarah Forbes Bonetta, Queen VictoriaÂ’s African goddaughter, The QueenÂ’s Spade is a lush and riveting historical thriller for fans of This Ravenous Fate, A Dowry of Blood and Grave Mercy.
