Immerse yourself in the second book in a fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling
author of the Ash Pricess series. The sequel to Castles in Their Bones is the story of three
princesses and the destiny they were born for: seduction conquest and 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.
