New Releases by Kendare Blake

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake returns with the highly anticipated third book in the Three Dark Crowns series! And while Arsinoe, Mirabella, and Katharine all have their own scores to settle, there is another queen stirring things up on Fennbirn Island. Queen Katharine has waited her entire life to wear the crown. But now that she finally has it, the murmurs of dissent grow louder by the day. There’s also the alarming issue of whether her sisters are actually dead—or if they’re waiting in the wings to usurp the throne. Mirabella and Arsinoe are alive, but in hiding on the mainland and dealing with a nightmare of their own: being visited repeatedly by a specter they think might be the fabled Blue Queen. Though she says nothing, her rotting, bony finger pointing out to sea is clear enough: return to Fennbirn. Jules, too, is in a strange place—in disguise. And her only confidants, a war-gifted girl named Emilia and her oracle friend Mathilde, are urging her to take on a role she can’t imagine filling: a legion-cursed queen who will lead a rebel army to Katharine’s doorstep. This is an uprising that the mysterious Blue Queen may have more to do with than anyone could have guessed—or expected. Don''t miss Five Dark Fates, the thrilling conclusion to the series!

Drie koninklijke zusjes, maar op de troon is maar plaats voor één koningin...Op het eiland Fennbirn wordt elke generatie een drieling geboren – drie koninginnen, alle drie erfgenaam van de troon en alle drie in het bezit van een bijzondere kracht. Mirabella kan met een knip van haar vingers vlammen doen oplaaien en hevige stormen ontketenen. Katherine kan zonder blikken of blozen het dodelijkste gif doorslikken zonder ziek te worden, en Arsinoe, zo gaat het gerucht, kan de mooiste bloemen laten bloeien en wilde leeuwen temmen met één enkele blik. Maar aangezien er maar één van hen gekroond kan worden, moeten de zussen de strijd met elkaar aangaan. Op de nacht van hun zestiende verjaardag, begint het gevecht. En dat is niet zomaar een spelletje, maar een gevecht op leven en dood...‘Prachtig en bloederig, teder en gewelddadig, en bovenal compleet verslavend.’ Kirkus Reviews‘Fantasy op z’n best.’ Booklist‘Koninginnen is een hardvochtig en origineel fantasyverhaal. Ik heb geen idee hoe het af gaat lopen met deze drie zusjes, maar ik ben echt zeer benieuwd!’ Marissa Meyer, auteur van The Lunar Chronicles

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series introduces readers to the Oracle Queen in this riveting prequel novella. Fans of the series will be enthralled with Queen Elsabet’s genesis, riveted by her madness, and compelled by her tragic—and bloody—reign. Triplet queens born on the island of Fennbirn can be many things: Elementals. Poisoners. Naturalists. If an oracle queen is born, however, one with the gift of sight, she’s immediately drowned, extinguishing her chance at ever taking the throne. But that’s not how it always was. This cautionary practice started long ago, with Queen Elsabet—the legendary, and last, oracle queen—whose reign was tinged with blood and horror. Paranoid, ruthless, and utterly mad, Elsabet’s mistrust led to the senseless slaying of three entire houses of innocent people. At least, that’s the unchallenged tale carried down from generation to generation. But what really happened? Discover the true story behind the queen who, though born with the gift of sight, could not foresee her swift and sudden fall from power . . . until it was too late. Don''t miss Five Dark Fates, the thrilling conclusion to the series!

Sequência de Anna vestida de sangue. Já se passaram meses desde que o fantasma de Anna Korlov abriu uma porta para o inferno no porão e desapareceu, mas o caçador de fantasmas Cas Lowood não consegue seguir em frente. Os amigos de Cas o fazem lembrar que Anna se sacrificou para que ele pudesse viver — e não ficar perambulando por aí feito um zumbi, perseguindo-a. Ele sabe que seus amigos têm razão, mas aos olhos de Cas nenhuma garota viva se compara à morta pela qual ele se apaixonou. Agora ele vê Anna por todos os lados: às vezes quando está dormindo, às vezes em pesadelos reais. Mas algo está muito errado — não são apenas devaneios. Anna parece atormentada, despedaçada de um jeito diferente e ainda mais horripilante a cada aparição. Cas não sabe o que aconteceu quando ela desapareceu, mas sabe que a garota não merece o que está acontecendo agora. Anna salvou Cas em mais de uma oportunidade; agora chegou a vez de ele retribuir o favor.

In this must-read prequel to Kendare Blake’s New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns, the queens’ origin story is revealed. It’s a pre-crown lowdown of Fennbirn’s ruling class. Mirabella, Arsinoe, and Katharine weren''t always scheming to murder each other. They weren''t always surrounded by rival foster families, each swearing to have their best interests at heart. And they weren''t always afraid of being unexpectedly attacked—by one of their own sisters, no less—in a way that could cost them their last breath. They used to be together. Just three sisters. Alone in a glen. This is the story of the three queens—after they were born, before they were separated, during the time when they all lived together, loved each other, and protected each other. Even as children, their personalities were starting to emerge—Mirabella was the responsible eldest; Arsinoe, the wild spitfire; and Katharine, the obedient youngest. It’s also the story of the day they were torn apart, and the several years that follow. From birth to eleven years old, this is a rare glimpse of the queens'' lives…before they were at stake.
