Shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2023
In great news for fans of Sarah J Maas’, in Twin Crowns Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber have joined forces to create a fabulously fantastical world. With witches at its cunning core, romance at its throbbing heart, and a host of high-stakes conundrums propelling the plot, what more could fans of subversive, romantic fantasy wish for? Humour, maybe? As it happens, Twin Crowns is funny too, so strap in for a wild, witty, wolfish ride.
Twin sisters Wren and Rose have lived hugely different lives. Separated at birth, Wren has long been set on usurping her sister’s place in the palace to become queen, set on avenging their parents’ murder, and set on supporting the witches from whom the kingdom was stolen. Rose, meanwhile, longs to become queen in order to explore beyond the palace walls. She’s “determined to visit the far-flung lands of her kingdom, and to meet the people who lived there.”
A fabulous story of struggle and sisterhood unfolds from this classic conflict set-up, all the while bristling with the energy of five kinds of witches – Enchanters, Healers, Warriors, Tempests and Seers – and more love interest intrigue than you can shake a wand at.

Two sisters. One throne. Who will ultimately rise to power and wear the crown?
