Poison in Their Hearts

Castles in Their Bones #3

De: Laura Sebastian

Narrado por: Roisin Rankin

Immerse yourself in the final book in the epic fantasy trilogy from the author of the New York Times bestselling Ash Pricess 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 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Love and machinations run rampant in a satisfying end to the trilogy." —School Library Journal

Amazing story!

I loved it so much! This is going to be a repeat listen for me. I read a lot, but don't very often reread. The characters are deep and full of nuance. I love the theme of redemption that runs through all three of the books in this series. The ending of this one was so satisfying. I can't say enough nice things about this book and the performance. Enchanting!!!

Good

I thought this book was a good ending to this series. There were a lot of people in this book that got what they deserved, including the Empress. This book was difficult to read because of all the lying and backstabbing that was done by Beatrice, Daphne, and some of the other characters.

Great series

I discovered this series through a knitting project and just love the books. They are a great read!

The sisters three

In previous books we learned that Sophie was executed and their evil mother dearest was likely behind it. This book helps fill in gaps and wraps up the series with a bow. Great characters flaws and all.

Disappointing ending to a good series

For me, this book just didn't hit as hard as the previous two. Some of the actions of the characters seemed odd. And there was a buildup for the final confrontation that ultimately didn't do anything and the ending just kinda happened.
I really like the characters and the world. But for me this just wasn't it.
