American Royals<\/i> meets The Winner\u2019s Curse<\/i> in the first book of bestselling author Brittany Cavallaro\u2019s new duology, set in an alternate history American monarchy where a girl grapples for control of her own life in the middle of a looming war.<\/b>
\nThe year is 1893, and war is brewing in the First American Kingdom. But Claire Emerson has a bigger problem. While her father prepares to reveal the mighty weapon he\u2019s created to showcase the might of their province, St. Cloud, in the World\u2019s Fair, Claire is crafting a plan to escape.
\nClaire\u2019s father is a sought-after inventor, but he believes his genius is a gift, granted to him by his daughter\u2019s touch. He\u2019s kept Claire under his control for years. As St. Cloud prepares for war, Claire plans to claim her life for herself, even as her best friend, Beatrix, tries to convince her to stay and help with the growing resistance movement that wants to see a woman on the throne. At any cost.
\nWhen her father\u2019s weapon fails to fire on the fair\u2019s opening day, Claire is taken captive by Governor Remy Duchamp, St. Cloud\u2019s young, untried ruler. Remy believes that Claire\u2019s touch bestows graces he\u2019s never had, and with his governing power weakening and many political rivals planning his demise, Claire might be his only and best ally. But the last thing that Claire has ever wanted is to be someone else\u2019s muse. Still, affections can change as quickly as the winds of war. And Claire has a choice to make: Will she quietly remake her world from the shadows\u2014or bring it down in flames?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
