The Trinity Crown
About
Three princesses are made to compete for a crown that holds no power. They choose to go undercover to save their home instead, becoming a thief, spy and master strategist.
Pryn Mardana and her sisters have six months until the Vanshian Company's representatives arrive. They'll select which one will wear a crown rumoured to have ancient magic embedded in its gemstones. But Pryn would rather dismantle the Company's surveillance machines with her cursed air magic than serve them.
Ryala, the overlooked middle child, doesn't think she has a chance, and Helena only wants to please their grandfather as his preferred heir. When the sisters meet an underground society called The Circle, they are thrown into a world of rebellion and secrets. Caught between their double lives in the royal court and their growing connection to the resistance. After a tragic raid on The Circle, Pryn and Helena are separated from Ryala and believed dead.
Now in hiding, Pryn becomes a masked thief, Helena a strategist who masterminds operations, with Ryala sending coded messages as their spy on the inside. When Ryala uncovers a plot to use the Trinity Crown's apocalyptic hidden power to crush all resistance, Pryn and her sisters must reunite and uncover a family secret before all they have fought for is destroyed.
Praise for this book
"The Trinity Crown is a deftly executed fantasy with a sweeping sense of scope and worldbuilding. The writing is crisp and inventive and I was particularly struck by the original descriptions of the new brand of magic. It’s very hard to come up with something fresh an editor hasn’t seen before, and that was exactly what The Trinty Crown did."
