Princess Marie-Victoria, heir to the Lily Throne, and Aelwyn Myrddn, bastard daughter of the Mage of England, grew up together. But who will rule, and who will serve?
Quiet and gentle, Marie has never lived up to the ambitions of her mother, Queen Eleanor the Second, Supreme Ruler of the Franco-British Empire. With the help of her Head Merlin, Emrys, Eleanor has maintained her stranglehold on the world's only source of magic. She rules the most powerful empire the world has ever seen.
But even with the aid of Emrys' magic, Eleanor's extended lifespan is nearing its end. The princess must marry and produce an heir or the Empire will be vulnerable to its greatest enemy, Prussia. The two kingdoms must unite to end the war, and the only solution is a match between Marie and Prince Leopold VII, heir to the Prussian throne. But Marie has always loved Gill, her childhood friend and soldier of the Queen's Guard.
Together, Marie and Aelwyn, a powerful magician in her own right, come up with a plan. Aelwyn will take on Marie's face, allowing the princess to escape with Gill and live the quiet life she's always wanted. And Aelwyn will get what she's always dreamed of--the chance to rule. But the court intrigue and hunger for power in Lenoran England run deeper than anyone could imagine. In the end, there is only rule that matters in Eleanor's court: trust no one.

I’ve seen a lot about this recently, and the cover is stunning! I really look forward to reading it!
I’ve read some other books by her which i didn’t like so much but I want to give this one a try.
Gorgeous cover! I really liked Melissa’s Blue Bloods series so I’m looking forward to reading something else she’s written.
I loved her Witched of East End series and I’d love to give this new book a try. The cover is gorgeous and I love fantasy books.
I’ve never read Melissa, but that cover is stunning, and fantasy is right up my alley. I’d love to win.
I haven’t read any books of Melissa, and this one sounds interesting.
I can’t wait to see the hard copy of this book. I think the cover looks divine!
Gorgeous cover and a book involving royalty and magic.. I’m so in!
I love the alternate history angle and that it’s set in (alternate) England.
Sounds like a great read, would love to win. I haven’t read anything by her. Thanks for the opportunity!!!
I’m not entering the rafflecopter for this, but I did read the excerpt available online through a magazine, and it’s very well written with a world that really comes alive.
I love historial fiction and fantasy, and The Ring and the Crown sounds like an amazing combination of the two, in addition to being set in a period of history that’s often overlooked.
I adore the cover! Melissa de la Cruz always has great covers for her books.
And the time period is really original.
I can’t wait to read this!
