Klappentext "Two-thirds royal drama, one-third mystery...like a much darker Princess Diaries.” —Jennifer Lynn Barnes, New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games The second book in the Royal Blood series about an American girl who threatens the royal family by exposing their darkest scandals—even as they get more sinister. American girl turned monarchy nightmare, Evan Bright, has gotten used to the press about her but the media attention has only seemed to get worse. From desperate clickbait articles about her and the President's son to Royal Record headlines pitting her against Princess Maisie, it seems everyone is dying for Evan to return back to America for good. Meanwhile Evan is receiving mysterious threats about her real story being reveiled in a tell-all biography. When more information is leaked about Evan, she fears she will always be Britain's media villain. But the threats escalate when there is an attempted assassination with no suspects...and Evan believes the person is in the palace's walls. They say what doesn't kill you will make you stronger...but what if it's the royal family who wants you dead? Leseprobe Chapter One We at the Regal Record hope you’ve been good this year, because it seems like Saint Nicholas has come early for us all. Despite rumours of a cancellation thanks to an untimely blizzard across the pond, the United Kingdom’s notoriously naughty royal family will indeed be hosting a state banquet tonight for the president of the United States, Hope Park, and it promises to be chockful of chaos. Under ordinary circumstances, this state visit would be noteworthy considering President Park is both the first woman and first Korean American to hold the highest office in the US. But, just like every other significant event as of late, this historic achievement has already been overshadowed by the most recent addition to the House of Windsor’s royal family tree. That’s right--Evangeline Bright, the King’s illegitimate American daughter, will be in attendance tonight, and given her past exploits, it’s safe to assume she’ll do something gratingly inept to steal the thunder--and the headlines--from those who’ve actually earned their place at the royal table. In the five and a half months since Evangeline’s tasteless and explosive BBC One interview detailing her own sordid behaviour that led directly to Jasper Cunningham’s death--of which she was cleared of criminal charges, thanks to a reported backroom deal between Scotland Yard and the King’s personal lawyers--the palace has seen fit to shove her down the throats of the British people at seemingly every turn. Hospital openings, charity appearances, even walkabouts typically reserved for legitimate members of the royal family--Evangeline has merrily joined in on all, resulting in a long list of missteps and blunders. Yet despite the efforts of the palace to make her palatable, it’s becoming painfully clear that no amount of media and etiquette training can turn this American frog into a princess. How much longer can the royal family’s already-tattered reputation withstand the Bright blight? While we wait to see the fallout of tonight’s state banquet and Evangeline’s inevitable indiscretions, we at the Regal Record can only apologise yet again for revealing her identity this summer and unleashing this Pandora’s box of mayhem and vexation on not only the entire country, but the world. One must own up to one’s mistakes, and we deeply regret our part...
