Queen Victoria is in love with the one woman she can never have—her own stepdaughter, Princess Anna. After saving Anna with a true love’s kiss, Victoria is cursed to die within months. To protect Anna’s claim to the throne, she makes a ruthless choice: die as the wicked stepmother Anna hates. She takes everything that should have been Anna’s, destroys her allies, and pushes her into another man’s arms—all while secretly clearing the path for Anna to become queen. But when Anna finally learns that every betrayal was an act of love, Victoria is already dying in her arms. If one true love’s kiss started the curse… Could another one end it?
