Gr 9 Up— The twin queens have been crowned, only to be pulled apart again. Rose planned a royal tour to establish them in the kingdom, but Wren sneaks away to the north in hopes of freeing their grandmother—and enters into a bargain with magical complications. Rose finds herself pulled south by a mysterious stranger—and the strands of destiny. Short chapters alternate points of view, but the pacing struggles to manage two discrete plots. Wren and Rose's narrations are light but distinct, with a balance between humor and ambition. Main characters are white with diversity in the secondary characters. VERDICT A fantasy romp that avoids delving into serious themes by focusing on romantic elements. A secondary purchase.

The second book in the swoony and high-stakes fantasy rom-com series that began with Twin Crowns, about twin princesses separated at birth—from bestselling authors Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber.

Twin queens Wren and Rose have claimed their crowns…but not everyone is happy about witches sitting on Eana’s throne.

Coolheaded Rose plans a royal tour to establish goodwill throughout the kingdom. But Wren balks—how can they gallivant around Eana when their grandmother Banba is imprisoned in Gevra?

Impatient Wren steals away on a ship to the icy north, where King Alarik offers a deadly magical bargain in exchange for Banba’s freedom. Desperate, Wren agrees. But her spell has unexpected consequences….

Meanwhile, when Rose's royal tour is interrupted by a mysterious stranger claiming to be from the long-lost Sunkissed Kingdom, the strands of destiny pull her south to the ancient Amarach Towers, where only the Seers of Eana know why the Restless Sands are erupting—and why Shen-Lo himself might hold the key.

But back in Anadawn, rebellion is brewing. And if Eana is to stand a chance at peace, the sisters will need to reunite once more and convince their people to forsake old loyalties for new ones.
