Enter an incredible world and a beautiful setting as Kendare Blake carries us away into a world of plot and scheme where only one Queen can rule.
From the blurb;
'In every generation on the Island of Fennbirn a set of triplets is born: three Queens, all equal heirs to the crown, all possessed of a coveted magic.
'Mirabella, a fierce elemental, can spark hungry flames with the click of a finger.
'Katharine, a poisoner, is known to be resistant to the deadliest of snake bites.
'Arsinoe, a naturalist, is rumoured to have the ability to bloom the reddest or roses.
'But becoming the Queen Crowned is not just a matter of royal birth. These three sisters must fight to the death for the throne, and on the night they turn sixteen the battle begins. Only one queen can inherit the crown.'
This intelligent novel sparks feelings of fairy-tale as Blake spins her complex web of intrigue. We're thrown into the depths of each would-be-Queens individual lives in the build up to the trails which will decide their fates and are left to puzzle out how each young woman has become who they are.
Blake captures all aspects of the readers imagination with brilliantly hewn characters and a gorgeously vivid world which we are left longing to explore ourselves.
In these games of plot and deception who can you really trust to be your Queen? And do any of the candidates truly wish to rule?
