In the last glittering decade of European empires, courts, and kings, three young women are on a collision course with history--and with each other.

Alix of Hesse is Queen Victoria's favorite granddaughter, so she can expect to end up with a prince . . . except that the prince she's falling for is not the one she's supposed to marry.

Hélène d'Orléans, daughter of the exiled King of France, doesn't mind being a former princess; it gives her more opportunity to break the rules. Like running around with the handsome, charming, and very much off-limits heir to the British throne, Prince Eddy.

Then there's May of Teck. After spending her entire life on the fringes of the royal world, May is determined to marry a prince--and not just any prince, but the future king.

In a story that sweeps from the glittering ballrooms of Saint Petersburg to the wilds of Scotland, A Queen's Game recounts a pivotal moment in real history as only Katharine McGee can tell it: through the eyes of the young women whose lives, and loves, changed it forever.
