This five-book set by Kendare Blake returns to the island of Fennbirn, where each generation brings a set of triplets: three queens, equal heirs to the crown, each born with a coveted magic. In Three Dark Crowns, Mirabella is introduced as a fierce elemental, able to summon hungry flames or vicious storms with a snap of her fingers.

Across the series, the rivalry for the crown intensifies as the Ascension Year begins and the consequences of earlier events continue to unfold. Katharine, once seen as the weak and feeble sister, grows stronger, while Arsinoe grapples with the truth about her powers and how to use a secret talent without being discovered.

Synopses

Three Dark Crowns

On the island of Fennbirn, triplets are born each generation as three queens, equal heirs to the crown, each with a coveted magic. Mirabella is an elemental who can spark flames or storms with a snap of her fingers.

One Dark Throne

With the events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, the struggle shifts. Katharine is stronger than ever, while Arsinoe must learn how to make her secret talent work in her favour without anyone finding out.

Two Dark Reigns

A battle has been fought, blood has been spilt and a queen has been crowned, but not everyone is satisfied with the result. Katharine, the poisoner queen, tries to ignore whispers that label her illegitimate, undead and cursed.

Queens of Fennbirn

The Young Queens looks back to the birth of the three queens, before they were separated. It offers a brief glimpse of the time when they lived together, cared for one another and offered protection.

Five Dark Fates

Mirabella returns to the capital, seemingly under a banner of truce. Katharine holds power over Fennbirn for now, but at huge personal cost, while Arsinoe is lost with the responsibility of stopping the ravaging mist weighing heavily on her shoulders.
