'A page-turner that brilliantly blends magic, romance, and adventure' Booklist
Seduction. Conquest. The Crown.
Princesses Daphne, Beatriz, and Sophronia have trained their entire lives for one purpose: to bring down nations. Their mother, Empress Margaraux of Bessemia, is determined to rule the continent of Vesteria, and her daughters are her weapons. Promised for marriage since birth, they are her ticket across enemy lines. And also her decoys.
Still, not even Empress Margaraux can control the stars. Sent to their new kingdoms, orders in hand, the princesses have found their own paths, changing the course of their mother's plans entirely - and tragically. Sophronia chose love, and for that, she lost her life.
Daphne and Beatriz can hardly believe their sister is dead, but both are determined to avenge her. And now, separated by a continent - and their mother's lies - they see more clearly with every passing day that they might not be working toward the same end.
The stars whisper of death, but Daphne and Beatriz are just beginning to understand the true power coursing through their veins. And their mother will do anything to keep them under her thumb - even if it means killing them all.

Laura, what the heck was this?? Castles in their Bones was one of my favorite books so far this year, and this sequel made me wanting to dnf it multiple times??? make it make sense. This book has my favorite cover out of the three (first one shows Sophie, this one here is Beatriz - such a slay - and the third book in green will have Daphne on it); but yeah it suffers from one of the biggest cases of middle book syndrome I have ever come across. There is barely anything happening, just so much scheming and politics, and the book dragged on so much, and everybody was whining about Sophie - like I get it, she is my favorite character and I also missed her a lot - but don't make it your whole personality. Tbh I am not sure if I will read the last book in the series because this book dragged on SO much, but I'll wait for some reviews and will decide from there on.
