The Imposter Empress Book 2

An arranged marriage romance

By: Sheila Gates

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Emilia Weber knows exactly how the story ends. As a historian, she has memorized the date of every tragedy, every death, and every heartbreak that befell Empress Elisabeth of Austria.
She never planned to become her.
One touch of a cursed artifact, and Emilia is ripped from the modern world and thrust into the body of the 15-year-old Sisi. No longer a scholar in a museum, she is now a terrified girl in a corset, staring into the cold blue eyes of Emperor Franz Joseph—the man history remembers as a tyrant, but whom she is beginning to see as a captive soul.
A LIE THAT COULD SAVE AN EMPIRE Trapped in the suffocating grandeur of the Hofburg Palace, Emilia has a weapon the real Sisi never possessed: Hindsight. She knows the wars that are coming. She knows the betrayals plotting in the shadows. And she knows that her formidable mother-in-law, Archduchess Sophie, already suspects that the girl behind Sisi’s face is an imposter.
A LOVE WORTH ERASING YOURSELF FOR Desperate to survive, Emilia plays the part. But as she uses her modern wits to charm the court and soften the Emperor’s hardened heart, a dangerous, unscripted passion ignites between them. Franz Joseph is falling for a woman who doesn't exist—and Emilia is falling for a husband who is destined for ruin.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING But time is not easily cheated. As Emilia fights to save Sisi’s future, she feels the present slipping away. Strange shadows lurk in the palace corridors, and the memories of her real life are beginning to fade.
In a game of power and passion where the rules are written in blood, Emilia must answer one question:
Is it possible to save a love doomed by history without losing herself forever?
