A table has a jeweled and golden hair comb and a golden hand mirror. There is green dust under those. There is also a tall golden chalice that seems to have pomegranate seeds and the juice is dripping down the side. There are also read roses. The Beauty Trials (The Belles #3) by Dhonielle Clayton
Disney-Hyperion

Sophia, the dangerous and erratic former queen, has been imprisoned, restoring peace to Orléans. Now her sister, Charlotte, sits on the throne and has decided to invoke the ancient tradition of the Beauty Trials―a series of harrowing tests meant to find the true ruler of Orléans. Edel, who has always aspired to be more than a Belle, decides to enter and, after promising to bind her arcana to keep from having an unnatural advantage, joins a few dozen other hopefuls intent on becoming the next Queen of Orléans.

But the Trials are far worse than any of them bargained for. As the women are put through tasks that test their strength, confidence, composure, and bravery, many perish, and Edel is mysteriously attacked by one of the other competitors―forcing her to use her powers just to survive. Will her subterfuge cost her the crown, or is there a larger conspiracy at play? — Cover image and summary via Goodreads
