Three sisters. Motherless daughters of the high king. The eldest is the warrior-woman heir; the middle child is shy and full of witchy intuition; and the youngest, Princess Amelia, she is as beautiful as the sun and just as generous.
Ami met her Prince Charming and went away to his castle on the stormy sea-cliffs--and that should have been her happily ever after. Instead, her husband lies dead and a war rages. Her middle sister has been taken into a demon land, turned into a stranger. The priests and her father are revealing secrets and telling lies. And a power is rising in Ami, too, a power she hardly recognizes, to wield her beauty as a weapon, and her charm as a tool to deceive. . .
Amelia has never had to be anything but good and sweet and kind and lovely. But the chess game for the Twelve Kingdoms has swept her up in it, and she must make a gambit of her own. Can the prettiest princess become a pawn--or a queen?

A Note From the Publisher
Book 2 in the Epic Romantic Fantasy Trilogy: The Twelve Kingdoms
Book 2 in the Epic Romantic Fantasy Trilogy: The Twelve Kingdoms
Advance Praise
“Although The Tears of the Rose picks up immediately
after book one, new readers will have no trouble following along as the events
surrounding Prince Hugh’s death – at the hands of Amelia’s sister – are quickly
described. Amelia’s journey from pampered princess to empowered woman begins
with sorrow and pain, until she begins to see her purpose and embraces her
newfound strength and power. She is a surprising female character, as is the
scarred and mysterious Ash. He shows Ami what passion and love truly mean in
the sexiest way possible – loving her unconditionally even when it seems
impossible for them to be together. One of the highlights of the Twelve Kingdom
series so far is that the women are charged with saving themselves and creating
their own happily-ever-after, with the men surrounding them just one part of
the process.” – RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars Top Pick GOLD
"A romantic story within a fantasy landscape. Kennedy creates a well constructed world, and Amelia has a solid character arc." - Library Journal
