Review
------
“Brutally brilliant and exquisitely devastating.
Kendare Blake is a master of plot twists and making hearts
bleeds. This book destroyed me in the best possible way. Prepare
to be ruined.” (Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling
author of Caraval and Legendary)
★ “Tragic, devastating, horrifying, enthralling.” (Kirkus Reviews
(starred review))
“This third series installment expanded on the world
introduced in Three Dark Crowns and One Dark Throne, and the
stakes, if possible, are higher than ever. Fans will be ready to
kill for this.” (ALA Booklist)
PRAISE FOR ONE DARK THRONE: ★ “Blake’s already pitch-dark tale
shades even darker. Exquisitely restrained prose, deliberate
pacing, paying off in a tumultuous climax that piles one shocking
twist upon another. Achingly gorgeous and gruesomely
fascinating.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
“This sequel to Three Dark Crowns loses none of that book’s
momentum, powering toward a conclusion that leaves several doors
open. With wonderfully drawn characters and a lethal,
unpredictable plot, this follow-up will leave readers breathless
as the queens’ es unfold.” (ALA Booklist)
PRAISE FOR THREE DARK CROWNS: “New exciting heights with a
driving plot. Dark indeed, and exploring themes of loyalty, this
is a thrilling sequel with everything from action to romance to
entice readers. A strong purchase for YA fantasy shelves.”
(School Library Journal)
“Three Dark Crowns is a brutal and inventive fantasy that is as
addictive as it is horrifying. I can’t begin to guess the es
of these three remarkable sister-queens, but I’m salivating like
poisoners at a feast to find out what will happen next.” (Marissa
Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of the Lunar Chronicles
Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of the Lunar
Chronicles)
“Full of mystery, intrigue, and deadly girls I wouldn’t dare
cross, Fennbirn is a darkly magical world I’m both drawn to and
frightened by. In short, this is a book I could linger in for
months, with three girls I am rooting for with all my heart.”
(Megan Shepherd, New York Times bestselling author of The Cage
series Megan Shepherd, New York Times bestselling author of The
Cage series)
★ “With exquisite world building and luminous detail, this is
high fantasy at its best. The magic is fierce and the plot
intensely twisted, but at this novel’s dark heart beats a story
about sisterhood, the unbreakable bonds of family, and ties that
bind enough to kill.” (Booklist (starred review))
★ “The opener to a pitch-black epic fantasy series. Blake has
constructed an insular, matriarchal society from convincing
details, vivid, complicated characters, [and] sumptuous,
poetic prose. Gorgeous and bloody, tender and violent, precise,
and passionate; above all, completely addicting. ” (Kirkus
Reviews (starred review))

Fennbirn into a panic.
Hiding out on the Mainland, Arsinoe and Mirabella try to make a

until home beckons: Arsinoe is haunted by visions of the
legendary Blue Queen, a rare and mystical fourth-born queen who
died hundreds of years earlier.
Jules, after befriending a war-gifted girl named Emilia, learns
there is a rebel army that wants to usurp the throne—and they
want Jules to lead the charge.
A queen on the throne, two on their way home, and an unexpected
