Watch the Official Trailer for A Queen's Match by Katharine McGee

A Queen's Match

In this breathtaking sequel to the national bestseller A Queen’s Game, the love lives of three princesses are hopelessly entangled. Hearts will be broken, friendships betrayed, secrets revealed . . . and when it’s all over, Europe’s monarchies will never be the same.

Hélène d’Orléans, exiled princess of France, was forced to break off her engagement to Prince Eddy because of a mistake from her past. But she’s determined to win him back, even if it means pretending to court another prince.

Alix of Hesse is desperately in love with Prince Nicholas of Russia and promises to wait for him, no matter how long it takes. But what happens when her grandmother Queen Victoria introduces a new suitor . . . one who makes Alix question her heart?

May of Teck isn’t even looking for love, just a crown—and now, after all her scheming, she might finally have found a way to marry Prince Eddy. So why can’t she stop thinking about his younger brother, George?

In this stunning conclusion to the duology that began with A Queen’s Game, Katharine McGee offers an intimate portrayal of a near-forgotten moment in royal history: a story of agonizing loss, of impossible choices, and of love—and hope—that defied the odds.

A WOMAN’S WORLD BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

In the last glittering decade of European empires, courts, and kings, three young women are on a collision course with history—and with each other.

Alix of Hesse is Queen Victoria’s favorite granddaughter, so she can expect to end up with a prince . . . except that the prince she’s falling for is not the one she’s supposed to marry.

Hélène d’Orléans, daughter of the exiled King of France, doesn’t mind being a former princess; it gives her more opportunity to break the rules. Like running around with the handsome, charming, and very much off-limits heir to the British throne, Prince Eddy.

Then there’s May of Teck. After spending her entire life on the fringes of the royal world, May is determined to marry a prince—and not just any prince, but the future king.

In a story that sweeps from the glittering ballrooms of Saint Petersburg to the wilds of Scotland, A Queen’s Game recounts a pivotal moment in real history as only Katharine McGee can tell it: through the eyes of the young women whose lives, and loves, changed it forever.
