They were promised for 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 them. 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.

Gr 9 Up-In a book that picks up right where Stardust in Their Veins left off, Beatriz, Violie, and Daphne are in more danger than ever. Waking up in Cellaria, Beatriz is once again facing a forced marriage, enmeshed in the game Gigi, Nico, and her mother are playing. The question isn't who she can trust, but who she can use. Meanwhile, in Friv, Daphne is finally going to face her mother head-on, but can she best the Empress while fighting the part of herself that still yearns for a mother's love? The political intrigue is better than ever in the final installment of this character-driven trilogy. Fans of slow-burn romances will finally get their moment, as well as enjoy the accurate portrayal of sisterly affection. Although the final reckoning with the Empress lacks a punch, the resolution between the sisters is heartfelt. The introduction of a new character in the third act may feel a bit too convenient, but the series nevertheless ends on a fulfilling note. VERDICT Love and machinations run rampant in a satisfying end to the trilogy. For collections where the first two installments are popular.-Elisha Sheffer
