They were promised in marriage since birth, and raised to bring down kingdoms, but the true destiny of the triplet princesses of Bessemia has always been to die -- and one of them already has. Since Sophronia's murder, princesses Daphne and Beatriz have discovered the truth: they are pawns in their mother's game, which will end with her as empress of not just Bessemia but the entire continent of Vesteria. Only, the princesses have their own plans. Beatriz and Daphne are still separated by a continent, and there are enemies everywhere, but now they have allies who stretch across the borders of Vesteria: Sophronia's husband, the deposed King Leopold; Violie, a former spy for Empress Margaraux; and Beatriz's missing husband, Pasquale, and his lover, Ambrose. Now, with their allies' help and the magic of the stars, the princesses are ready to make their final stand. But whispers of an ancient prophecy follow them -- secrets from their past are yet to be revealed -- and every move they make, the empress seems to be one step ahead. If there's to be any hope for the princesses, the girls will need to use every skill their mother taught them, trust in the magic in their veins, and defy fate itself. And if they can't, all is lost for the people of Vesteria.

In a final stand against their mother, the princesses Daphne and Beatriz join forces with allies across Vesteria and use the magic of the stars, while battling ancient prophecies and secrets from their past.

Fantasy fiction.
