About the book:
Three
sisters. Motherless daughters of the high king. The eldest is the warrior-woman
heir;the middle child is shy and full of witchy intuition;and the youngest,
Princess Amelia, she is as beautiful as the sun and just as generous.
Ami
met her Prince Charming and went away to his castle on the stormy
sea-cliffs—and that should have been her happily ever after. Instead, her
husband lies dead and a war rages. Her middle sister has been taken into a
demon land, turned into a stranger. The priests and her father are revealing
secrets and telling lies. And a power is rising in Ami, too, a power she hardly
recognizes, to wield her beauty as a weapon, and her charm as a tool to
deceive…
Amelia
has never had to be anything but good and sweet and kind and lovely. But the
chess game for the Twelve Kingdoms has swept her up in it, and she must make a
gambit of her own. Can the prettiest princess become a pawn—or a queen?

The Twelve
Kingdoms, Book 1
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've been looking for a good fantasy series and the excerpt for Mark of the Tala makes this one look like it will be great.
ReplyDeleteI read the first book after finding out about this one here. Really liked it and now I can't wait for Tears of the Rose!
