Three dark queens are born in a glen. But only two are allowed to grow up, in the instance of Marianne and Norelle. At the age of six, neither of them remembers their sister Luciya, a drowned oracle. A warrior and a elemental, they know they must strive to be the best queen they can be. Neither of them is prepared to kill the other, but a queen does what she must and in the end, the rules of the island may be more binding than the bonds of sisterhood. Meanwhile, a naturalist girl grows up with a secret: that the drowned oracle queen may not have been an oracle, after all. But can she truly make a difference, and does she want to, when queens are supposed to be monsters? Only one notion is clear at the beginning of their lives, and the Ascension alike: there will be blood. DISCLAIMER: Everything belongs to Kendare Blake. I own nothing but my imagination.
