Summary from Goodreads:
Some battles bleed so much, and for so long, that the earth never truly forgets their dead. Some battles are born of oppression, and some of greed, and some simply because it was written in the stars.
Three sisters—Charlemagne, Cairo and Pendragon Agonistes—are sent from America to England to live with their eccentric grandparents after their mother disappears and their father falls to pieces. But before the girls have time to find their feet, Charlemagne is married off to a dead man, Penny takes a nap and wakes up as a boy, and Cairo is swept into a dangerous romance with a man who wants her for more than her considerable charm. With the girls wrapped up in a conflict they barely understand, they don’t notice that their grandmother is transforming, or that the two demigod assassins who took their mother are now coming for them—if one of them can get over his crisis of conscience.
In this richly painted tale, at whose heart is the unbreakable bond of family and blood, the world of Seraphina collides with our own as three unique girls are dragged into twilight lives past, fighting for vengeance, retribution, and the survival of their exiled people.

Jude developed a love of fantasy from a
relatively early age after realising an innate talent for making stuff up could
result in something other than detention. Working across the globe in fields as
diverse as journalism, data entry, sales, management consultancy and
babysitting, Jude has partially succeeded in putting an English and History
degree from Oxford University to good use. A somnambulist, insomniac, lover of
letters, Jude writes late into the night, most nights, tumbling down the rabbit
hole to dream of other lives. Jude currently lives in Pennsylvania with an
over-enthusiastic family and absurdly entitled dog.
