About the book

About Grave Flowers

A twisty, dark royalcore fantasy that takes the courtly intrigue of Hamlet and infuses it with the vicious ambition of the Boleyn family. For readers who love Holly Black and Sarah J. Maas. This gorgeous hardcover edition features beautifully designed endpapers and a foil stamped case! "A sumptuously dark tale of revenge and atonement that beautifully explores the ties both duty and family use to claim us. From the first page to the last, I was dazzled." --Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child Marry the prince, then kill him. Princess Madalina and her twin sister, Inessa, were born attached at the hand and separated right after. That's the only time the sisters ever held hands. The girls' personalities have been shaped in the Sinet family's drive to make their kingdom more than what it is: unrespectable and loathsome, a damp place where deceit fills the palace walls like mold. Madalina is different from her family. She's considered the weak one and only finds peace in the garden, tending her magical flowers, which are pejoratively called grave flowers because they are ideal for torture and torment. Secretly, she dreams of escape and a new life. Then Inessa, who was betrothed to the heir of a wealthy kingdom--Prince Aeric--gets trapped in Bide, a terrifying purgatory, and begs Madalina to set her free. Now, not only must Madalina take her sister's place as Aeric's bride-to-be, but she also must finish Inessa's secret mission: Inessa wasn't just sent to marry Prince Aeric, but to kill him, too, and solidify a profitable pact with his traitorous uncle. On behalf of her family, Madalina will need to resist the infuriatingly clever prince--as well as her own heart--if she's to free her sister and finish the job. Perfect for fans of: Enemies to lovers Royal rivalry Arranged marriage Deadly games Dark royalcore Reluctant ruler Bloodstained family
