The Queen's Counterfeit Heart
Sabine Rook was a battlefield healer until she broke quarantine to save the dying. Now she has one evening to impersonate a dying queen, and the price is the cure for a village she couldn't save. The queen's spymaster sees through her at once, and helps her anyway. By midnight the queen is dead, Sabine is wearing the crown, and Rhys Calder is kneeling at her feet with blood on his cuffs, offering her everything except the truth about why he chose her.
