No queen is subservient. For decades, the royal family of Cordisa has allowed the Queen of Hearts to dictate their rule. They have allowed the mad queen of Wonderland to poison their souls. To twist their minds. Not anymore. The Princess of Cordisa, Valerie Madeline Jones, has lost anyone she has ever loved. Her father had aspirated the greedy disease of dementia and died. Her fiancé never recovered from a fatal head injury. Her loyal subjects have been devastated by the Queen of Hearts' increasingly harsh regulations. Now a red queen has risen out of the ashes and blood of her former life. Now Valerie will lead the rebellion as her subjects prepare to take arms for the inevitable war. As Valerie navigates the dangerous political world of the royal court, and tries to differentiate enemies from allies, to differentiate diplomacy from passion, she covertly brews rebellious feelings into those loyal to the sovereign of Hearts. But Valerie is new to world of deceit, and she has not yet seen the dark depths the Queen of Hearts is willing to go to, to ensure victory. Will Valerie be able to deceive the great deceiver? Or will Valerie lose her head before she may wear her crown? Revolution is rising in Cordisa. For the Red Queen will reign.
