Synopsis
The Crown of Gilded Bones follows Poppy after she has found love with Prince Casteel, though there is little time to enjoy it. Before the two can settle into any kind of peace, they must work to free Casteel's brother and locate Poppy's own missing sibling, a mission that carries consequences reaching well beyond their personal lives. As the Chosen, and the confirmed true heir to Atlantia's throne, Poppy is forced to reckon with what that inheritance actually means, weighing her sense of duty to a people who need a leader against her uncertainty about whether she is ready, or willing, to claim the crown that is now hers by right, all while old enemies continue to circle both kingdoms.
