Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake is a dark and original fantasy series 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 heirs to the throne, each with their own type of magic. Only one can become the Queen Crowned, and the only way to get there is to fight… to the death.
 
Mirabella is an elemental, Katharine a poisoner, Arisone a naturalist and on the night of their sixteenth birthday, their brutal battle for the crowns begins. Which sister will prevail and be the last queen standing?

This hypnotic and terrifying feminist fairy tale series is made up of four books that chronicle the sisters’ battles, exiles and revolutions. First published in 2016, it has been a huge hit with young adult fans and is best suited for fantasy-fans aged 13+.
