Books like The caged queen by Kristen Ciccarelli
Twin sisters Roa and Essie share an unbreakable bond known as the hum. When a tragic accident kills Essie and traps her soul in the mortal world, the blame falls on Dax, heir to the throne of Firgaard. Swearing vengeance, Roa cuts ties with the future king. Years later, Dax returns to plead for her aid: he seeks to overthrow his cruel father, who has oppressed Roa’s people. In exchange for the army he needs, Dax offers to make Roa queen—only then will she have the power to end his reign and resurrect Essie. During the Relinquishing, when spirits return, Roa learns she can recover her sister’s soul completely by killing the king. The story follows her struggle to break the cycle of hate, reclaim her sister, and free her realm.
