Three Dark Crowns meets Pretty Little Liars in this sensational and striking new fantasy from debut author Ellen Goodlett.
Three girls. Three deadly secrets. Only one can wear the crown.
The king is dying, his heir has just been murdered, and rebellion brews in the east. But the kingdom of Kolonya and the outer Reaches has one last option before it descends into leaderless chaos.
Or rather, three unexpected options.
Zofi has spent her entire life trekking through the outer Reaches with her band of Travelers. She would do anything to protect the band, her family. But no one can ever find out how far she's already gone.
Akeylah was raised in the Eastern Reach, surrounded by whispers of rebellion and abused by her father. Desperate to escape, she makes a decision that threatens the whole kingdom.
Ren grew up in Kolonya, serving as a lady's maid and scheming her way out of the servants' chambers. But one such plot could get her hung for treason if anyone ever discovers what she's done.
When the king summons the girls, they arrive expecting arrest or even execution. Instead they learn the truth: They are his illegitimate daughters, and one must become his new heir. But someone in Kolonya knows their secrets, and that someone will stop at nothing to keep the sisters from their destiny...to rule.
Magic, mystery, and blackmail abound in the first book of this sensational and striking fantasy duology.

"Goodlett treats readers to juicy gossip, court intrigue, and danger. [Her] worldbuilding is detailed and politically astute...providing a satisfying build toward a cliffhanger ending."—Publishers Weekly

What this story lacks is better dialogue. Some lines are cringe-worthy. There has also been a slow revelation of the history of this world and the blood arts. The vulgar arts are an interesting element. The relationships between the sisters seem to have developed relatively organically, but their relationships with others not so much. The relationship with one of the sisters and the Queen seems very stretched. It's disappointing that the author chose to end this on a cliffhanger. Maybe she felt no one would read the second book if she didn't? Kind of an indication that this novel has trouble standing on its own. Not sure if I will read the next story. There is just enough there to make me think maybe, but I'm also debating whether I care or not.
Who doesn't have a secret?
