    About this ebook

    A dark fantasy short story about royalty, rivalry, and assassination

    Life's not fair, when you have to find a fiancé or risk setting your kingdom up for a fall. It's not fair, when your dead lover comes to call, assassins in his wake, and your dead maid by his side. And it's really not fair, when everything happens on the night of your suitors' ball. It never rains but it pours. I am a queen by blood and right, and not some random happenstance—yet who am I to argue when Destiny comes to call?

    C.M. Simpson

    I spent the first twenty years of my life living in different parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory. My father was a teacher who liked to travel, so he took teaching appointments in all kinds of places. I don’t think I stayed in one place for more than four years at a stretch. I wrote stories for most of that time, drawing on the different landscapes we encountered and giving a hyper-active imagination somewhere to run. Seeing so many different places gave me a lot of food for thought as I stepped into the world of adulthood and took my first full-time job, and I never stopped writing and exploring the worlds in my head. So far, I have written four collections of short stories and poetry, and a number of novels, with many more to come. I hope you have enjoyed this part of my journey.
