Poison in Their Hearts by Laura Sebastian
Immerse yourself in the final book in the epic fantasy trilogy from the author of the New York Times bestselling Ash Princess series. Follow three princesses and the destiny they were born for: seduction, conquest, and the crown.
They were promised for marriage since birth, and raised to bring down kingdoms, but the triplet princesses of Bessemia’s true destiny has always been to die—and one already has. Since Sophronia’s murder Princesses Daphne and Beatriz have discovered the truth: that they are pawns in their mother’s game. A scheme that will see her empress not just of Bessemia, but the entire continent of Vesteria. But 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, and they 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 help and the magic of the stars above, the princesses are ready to make their final stand.
But whispers of an ancient prophecy follow them–there are secrets from the their past that have yet to be revealed—and every move they make, the empress seems to always be one step ahead them. If there’s 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—or all is lost for the people of Vesteria.
This is a book three so there are spoilers below from the first two books.
I’m sad to see this series end. I really love Laura Sebastian and I am excited to see what she does next. But I felt attached to these characters. There are a lot and I still managed to mix them up at times. But I liked so many of them. And it was easy to hate the bad ones. In this book, we get chapters from Beatriz, Daphne, and Violie. They are all in separate places in the beginnig of the book. The triplets mother is still the main enemy, but she also has spies and assassins all over. Both girls know that they must die on specific soil by a local hand. So leaving those areas just make sense. I loved how the whole group worked together and I love the star magic. The ending was good for me too. I’ll just miss these characters for awhile. I ended up really loving the sisters.
I gave this book 5 stars.
