"With a love story for the ages, this vivid tale takes the history we know and recasts it into an exciting, technicolor, future world that challenges what we know here in the present, and how we know it. I loved it! I couldn't put it down!" —Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of the Across the Universe trilogy

Decadent, thrilling, and romantic, this Black Mirror-esque retelling of the reign of one Marie Antoinette is perfect for fans of The Belles and American Royals.

The year is 3070, and Marie Antoinette has just arrived at the glittering, thrilling palace of Versailles to marry the shy, soft-spoken Louis-Auguste.

But beneath the luxurious world lies a sinister underbelly and an uncompromising elite who want to keep Marie and Louis pawns in a deadly game.

Will history repeat itself? Or will these doomed lovers outwit their enemies and escape their grisly fate?

Cake Eater will take readers to a dazzling world full of breathless luxuries, deadly secrets, and a thrilling romance that attempts to rewrite history itself. 

One quiet prince. One media-savvy princess. And a historical fate that says they’re both doomed.

• A Marie Antoinette Retelling: The year is 3070, and a teenage Marie is sent to marry Louis-Auguste, but this time she might just escape her grisly fate.
• A High-Tech Versailles: Imagine the glittering French court with androids, holofones, and neon-laced palaces, where deadly secrets hide beneath a technicolor sheen.
• A Slow Burn Royal Romance: She’s a media-savvy princess; he’s a shy, soft-spoken prince. They’re strangers bound by duty, but their connection could be the one thing that saves them.
• Deadly Political Intrigue: Beneath the luxury lies an uncompromising elite who see Marie and Louis as pawns in a dangerous game they are determined to win.
