My brother has fought me every step of the way. He even murdered my one hope of a cure, and in his demented desire to finish the job, went digging into mysteries he had no business with. Now, he's been taken.

Verführung. Eroberung. Die Krone. Die Prinzessinnen Daphne, Beatriz und Sophronia wurden in die benachbarten Königreiche geschickt, um die Länder ihrer Verlobten zu Fall zu bringen. Doch die Prinzessinnen haben ihre eigenen Wege gefunden und die Pläne ihrer machthungrigen Mutter dabei völlig durchkreuzt – auf teils tragische Weise. Sophronia hat sich für die Liebe entschieden, und dafür ihr Leben gelassen. Daphne und Beatriz können kaum glauben, dass ihre Schwester tot ist, aber beide sind wild entschlossen, sie zu rächen.

Für die Krone geboren, zum Sterben bestimmt. Seit Sophronias Ermordung haben die Prinzessinnen Daphne und Beatriz die Wahrheit herausgefunden: Sie sind nichts weiter als zwei Bauernopfer im Spiel ihrer Mutter, die über den gesamten Kontinent Vesteria herrschen will. Beatriz und Daphne sind noch immer durch ganze Länder getrennt und ihre Feinde lauern überall, aber jetzt haben sie Verbündete in Gebieten, die weit über die Grenzen von Vesteria hinausgehen.

Der Plan: Heirat. Das Komplott: ein Königreich zu Fall bringen. Das Ziel: die Weltherrschaft. Seit dem Tag ihrer Geburt ist das Schicksal der drei Prinzessinnen Sophronia, Daphne und Beatriz vorbestimmt: Sie werden eines Tages Königinnen sein. Und nun, kurz nach ihrem sechzehnten Geburtstag, müssen die drei ihr Heimatland verlassen und ihre Prinzen heiraten. Die Drillinge scheinen die perfekten Bräute zu sein: wunderschön, intelligent und vor allem sittsam. Eine fatale Fehleinschätzung, denn Sophie, Daphne und Beatriz sind keine Unschuldslämmer.

Just so happens that the girl I love doesn’t like to leave things unfinished. Fine. So our little crew will assemble the Quatrefoil and bring magic back to the world. We’ve already faced death. This can’t be worse. Or can it?

I didn't mean to steal the Bloodstone from the De Morel's crypt. Scratch that, I did mean to steal it. Until I realized it was a curse-magnet that only comes off if I, along with a jolly trio, successfully defeat four curses. If any of us fail, I'm dead. I've never been a glass half-empty sort of person, but my glass looks in dire need of a refill right about now. The only highlight of this wicked treasure hunt: feisty, entitled Cadence de Morel.
