Born to rule. Raised to deceive.

The plot: overthrow a kingdom. The goal: world domination. The plan: marriage.

Empress Margaraux has had plans for

her daughters since the day they were born. Princesses Sophronia, Daphne, and

Beatriz will be queens. And now, age sixteen, they each must leave their

homeland and marry their princes.

Beautiful, smart, and demure, the triplets

appear to be the perfect brides - because Margaraux knows there is one common

truth: everyone underestimates a girl. Which is a grave mistake. Sophronia, Daphne,

and Beatriz are no innocents. They have been trained since birth in the arts

of deception, seduction, and violence with a singular goal - to bring down

monarchies - and their marriages are merely the first stage of their mother's

grand vision: to one day reign over the entire continent of Vestria.

The princesses have spent their lives preparing,

and now they are ready, each with her own secret skill, and each with a single

wish, pulled from the stars. Only, the stars have their own plans - and their mother hasn't told them all of hers.

Life abroad is a test. Will their

loyalties stay true? Or will they learn that they can't trust anyone - not

even each other?

Laura Sebastian stuns in this new trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess. A spellbinding story of three princesses and the destiny they were born for: seduction, conquest, and the crown.

Reviews for Castles in their Bones

In Sebastian's fairy tale world of royalty, power, and magic, the duplicitous but no less championable princesses engage in enough surprise twists, romantic entanglements, and dicey predicaments to keep readers entertained * Publishers weekly * Enchanting . . . filled with captivating court intrigue and espionage * Kirkus * Sebastian excels at world building . . . [and] a few tantalizing open threads certainly warrant interest in the future two volumes in this trilogy * The Bulletin * Seething with rebels, assassins and second agendas operating under the guise of a diplomatic mission. A rewarding slow-burner, Castles in Their Bones sets out as a wonderful echo of Game of Thrones * Armadillo Magazine * This is a thrilling novel packed with political intrigue, ruthless twists and scheming sisters - the very best elements of YA fantasy * Culturefly * A page-turner that brilliantly blends magic, romance, and adventure. A twist ending leaves readers reeling but ready for the second installment in the planned trilogy * Booklist *
