About this eBook
An "immersive and intense" (SLJ) romantasy about betrayal, sisterhood, and politicizing emotion in the quest for power—all while a slow-burn LGBTQ romance simmers.
★ A "Read with Jenna" Summer Reading List Selection ★
For centuries, the citizens of Velle have waited for their New Maiden to return. The prophecy states she will appear as the third daughter of a third daughter. When the fabled child is finally born to Velle’s reigning queen all rejoice except for Elodie, the queen’s eldest child, who has lost her claim to the crown. The only way for Elodie to protect Velle is to retake the throne. To do so, she must debilitate the Third Daughter—her youngest sister, Brianne.
Desperate, Elodie purchases a sleeping potion from Sabine, who sells sadness. But the apothecary mistakenly sends the princess away with a vial of tears instead of a harmless sleeping brew. Sabine’s sadness is dangerously powerful, and Brianne slips into a slumber from which she will not wake. With the fates of their families and country hanging in the balance, Sabine and Elodie hurry to revive the Third Daughter while a slow-burning attraction between the two girls erupts in full force.

This is an amazing book. The complex world building is wonderful. The details in the religion and historical background gives me chills. I love how the author uses it to give clues and foreshadowing for the reader to follow. The characters are amazingly complex and yet wonderfully flawed. Watching the interactions connects to you on a visceral level. The plot is such a twisty little rollercoaster that never stops going. So many twists and turns I got dizzy a couple of time. Truly a wonderful sto
