Wanted by a Queen. Hunted by an assassin. Stolen by a Dark Prince. Yesterday, I was just a normal girl trying to survive college. Except that normal girls don't walk through mirrors and meet the man sent to kill them. Now I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into a world where nothing makes sense. Sebastian, my dark and mysterious captor, promises to protect me. But how can I trust someone who can sneak into my dreams? Someone who hungers for the untouched parts of me. Sebastian claims I could be the next Dark Queen of the Fae. He says I have powers, that I'm immortal... and that he's the only one I can trust. He's arrogant and bossy, but I might have to trust him in a world where shadows are gateways to other worlds. Where every gift has a price, and where the man in black might turn out the hero. Everyone in this new world is trying to murder me. If I'm to survive, I have to embrace the shadows and become more than human. I have to become something stronger. Something darker. Something they're afraid of. Princess of Shadows is the first book in the three book series, Court of Lies.

Trapped in the shadow of the magnificent tomb their grief-stricken father is building for his beloved deceased wife, the emperor’s daughters compete for everything: control over the imperial harem, their father’s affection, and the future of their country. They are forbidden to marry and instead choose to back different brothers in the fight for ultimate power over the throne. But only one of the sisters will succeed. With an enthusiasm for history and a flair for rich detail, Indu Sundaresan brings readers deep into the complicated lives of Indian women of the time period and highlights the profound history of one of the most celebrated works of architecture in the world, the Taj Mahal.

Book Description
In the international bestseller, Princess: The True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, Princess Al-Sa’ud and the acclaimed author Jean Sasson began a remarkable series of books. Now, more than twenty-five years later, this compelling journey continues as we follow the fortunes and the dazzling life of the Princess, her friends and her family. But, of course, there is a less glamorous, much darker side to this engaging series, and in Stepping Out of the Shadows Jean and the Princess focus their attention on how, despite positive news on civil rights reforms, Saudi women still suffer physical and psychological abuse and have little legal protection due to the archaic guardianship laws of the land. So, although this is a kingdom on the threshold of revolutionary change – change spearheaded by the young Saudi Crown Prince who is keen to modernize his country – any thoughts of equal rights and the chance to lead an independent life remain little more than dreams for most Saudi women. Whilst the Princess acknowledges and welcomes the reforms that are on the horizon, through stories of joy and sorrow, we see how she is determined to continue to fight for equal rights for women in this, her beloved kingdom.
