This week I'm featuring Sons of Day and Night (Chronicles of Twinsbane Book 1) by Mariposa Aristeo
Not even death can tell them apart.
In the wild and lush kingdom of Twinsbane, everyone has a look-alike, and each twin is cursed to die when their double breathes their last. When an ancient plague arises, the kingdom’s only hope is to sever these deadly ties. Yet King Daccias refuses to relinquish the cure, a legendary potion called the Separator.
Waruu, an orphan determined to break these ties, discovers he’s the king’s doppelgänger. He’s certain that if he can switch places, he can save the kingdom. But if anyone learns his true identity, he’ll lose everything—including the people he’s desperately trying to protect.
King Daccias wants nothing more than for his subjects to cease threatening to behead him if he doesn’t hand over the Separator. Intent on catching those opposing him, he finds himself ensnared in his own trap. If he doesn’t break loose, the kingdom will rest in the hands of an insolent boy who knows nothing about the truth behind the events unfolding around him.
To save their kingdom, both Waruu and Daccias must face their greatest enemy—each other.

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
It is said the king is the only living soul without a twin.
Friday 56
Father once said that the mark of a king is a heart that cares for the good of each and every subject. A king, a true king, would give his life in exchange for the salvation of even the humblest citizen.
What have you been reading lately?
What a complex plot. I bet I’d like this one.
ReplyDeleteI loved it! It was a really interesting plot! :D
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by, Bree!
DeleteThat's a crazy premise! But I like it. Do you know how many books are going to be in this series? Or is it a duology?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I know there will be at least one more, but I haven't seen whether it's a duology or a trilogy. It's really good though! :D
DeleteLooks like a complex but intriguing storyline.
ReplyDeleteI loved it! :D
DeleteWow — this sounds absolutely gripping! 👑🔥
ReplyDeleteThe tension, the power struggle, and that twist of the king falling into his own trap? Brilliant. Your summary already feels cinematic and full of layered conflict, especially with two characters destined to collide in a way that could reshape the entire kingdom.
I love how you’ve balanced intrigue, danger, and character depth — it’s the kind of premise that pulls you in immediately and refuses to let go. If the story is as intense as this teaser, readers are in for an incredible journey. 📚✨

DeleteGreat first line.
ReplyDeleteI wish it was true.. that a king/ruler cared so much for the lives of his people that he would die for them.
Sounds good. Love the cover as well.
Same! Thanks for stopping by, Hena! :D
