Publisher's Summary

Fans of acclaimed author Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood will devour her latest novel, a dark and inventive fantasy about three sisters who must fight to the death to become queen.

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 stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

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 16, the battle begins.

The last queen standing gets the crown.

Great story, very addictive!

The story was fantastic however I was underwhelmed with the performance as all the narrator’s voices for the characters were the same except for Luca. Sometimes made it difficult to distinguish who was talking and to get a feel for each unique character. Otherwise an awesome book!

A lot to handle

I am pretty new to reading/listening to books. I found it difficult to keep up with all the different location and character changes. However about 3/4 of the way through the book it got consistent enough for me to follow.

Loved it!

This was my first experience using Audible and what a great book to start with! I loved the story and characters. It was such an easy book to listen to and I am currently almost done the third one! Thank you #Audible1!

I had already read this book

I enjoyed the narrator she was good enough that I didn't mind that it was a book I had already read. I don't like Joseph or Peter but by the end I wondered if that was intended.

Can't get past the narrator

I think this would be a fabulous book but the narrator ruined it for me. I managed to get to the 7th chapter before giving up because I just could not listen to her anymore. It was like listening to Siri read a book. I might buy it in print. I really wish Audible had other options because even an amazing story cannot save horrible narration.
