Fans of acclaimed author Kendare Blake’s Anna Dressed in Blood will devour Three Dark Crowns, the first book in a dark and inventive fantasy series about three sisters who must fight to the death to become queen.
The story is set on the island of Fennbirn, where every generation, triplets are born to the reigning queen, each possessing a unique magical gift. These triplets are destined to fight to the death in a brutal competition called the Ascension Year, with the survivor becoming the new queen.
The main characters of the novel are the three sisters: Arsinoe, a naturalist who is supposed to possess the ability to control plants and animals; Katharine, a poisoner with the power to ingest deadly toxins without harm; and Mirabella, an elemental with command over the elements of fire, water, and wind. As the Ascension Year approaches, each sister must navigate the dangerous politics of the court, alliances, and betrayals while preparing to fight for the crown.
