Three Dark Crowns - Kendare Blake
Tax included.
In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers.
Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomach-ache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of beasts. But becoming the Queen Crowned isn't solely a matter of royal birth.
Each sister has to fight for it. And it's not just a game of win or lose...
It's life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.
The last queen standing gets the crown.
