Danica lives trapped inside the Palace of Versailles, where courtiers pretend the eighteenth century never ended. When she sees the young king commit murder, her mother seizes the moment to blackmail him. The price: Dani must become his queen when she turns eighteen in six months. She refuses to marry the most dangerous man in court. Dani needs money to flee into the modern world beyond the palace gates. She finds her answer in Glitter, a drug so potent that mixing tiny amounts into makeup creates instant addiction. Each sale brings her closer to freedom and farther from her royal prison. But dealing drugs means working with someone outside the palace walls. Falling for him becomes the most dangerous risk of all. Secrets spread fast in Versailles, and discovery could cost Dani everything.
