In every generation on the island Fennbirn, a set of triplet
queens are born. Each child has the same claim to the throne, but only one can
rule. The sisters must fight to the death, until only one queen remains.
Torn apart from each other at a young age, the queen sisters
are raised by different families and have no memories of their each other.
Queen Katherine lives with the Poisoners where she is being taught to withstand
the effects of the deadliest poisons. Queen Mirabella
lives with the Elementalists who can control the five elements at the blink of
an eye. Queen Arsinoe lives with the Naturalists who have the ability to
control a pack of wild lions. Each queen should be equal in strength and
ability, but only Queen Mirabella appears to have any powers. The Islanders
think they have found their new queen and the long reign of poisoner queens is
coming to an end. But the Poisoners are ruthless people and they will do
whatever it takes to maintain their hold on the island. And although the
Naturalists are peaceful people, one cannot discount their wisdom and
hunger for change.
The queens are coming up on their sixteenth birthday and the
bloody battle for the throne is about to begin... and will not end until only one
queen remains....
I first fell in love with Kendare Blake while reading Anna Dressed in Blood, and was eager to read her newest book.Three Dark Crowns did not disappoint. It is one of the best books I have read in a very long time. It is filled with likable characters and a unique story line, not to
mention a cliff-hanger that will leave you desperate to find out what happens next. A highly recommended read!
