A new trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess.

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

Trained for from birth in espionage and seduction, the triplet princesses of Bessemia must travel to three distant lands to marry three princes and enact their Queen mother's plan to rule from sea to sea. But when they arrive, each sister discovers her task is not so simple, and their mother's motives may not be what they seem.

Critics Review

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
