50 Kapitel Laufend ErwachseneninhaltIn a kingdom built on ambition and betrayal, Queen Catherine weaves a dangerous web of deceit to claim ultimate power. Bound in a loveless marriage to King William, she finds solace-and passion-in the arms of his younger brother, Prince Henry. When her illicit affair results in a son, Catherine manipulates the court, ensuring that William believes the child to be his rightful heir.
But ambition is a treacherous game, and Catherine is not content to simply rule from the shadows. Together with Henry, she plots the slow poisoning of the King, setting in motion a plan that will see her lover take the throne at her side. Yet fate is not so easily controlled-when she unexpectedly conceives a second child, one fathered by William, her carefully constructed world begins to crumble.
Now, as the King weakens and the court teeters on the edge of chaos, Catherine must race against time to ensure William's demise before her secret is exposed. With enemies lurking in every corner and Henry's trust hanging by a thread, she must decide: will she risk everything for the throne, or will the lies she has spun become her undoing?
Power. Passion. Betrayal.
In this deadly game of crowns, there can only be one ruler.
Will it be Catherine?
Or will she fall victim to the very treachery she created?
