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 Elsabetâs genesis, riveted by her madness, and compelled by her tragicâand bloodyâreign. 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, sheâs immediately drowned, extinguishing her chance at ever taking the throne. But thatâs not how it always was. This cautionary practice started long ago, with Queen Elsabetâthe legendary, and last, oracle queenâwhose reign was tinged with blood and horror. Paranoid, ruthless, and utterly mad, Elsabetâs mistrust led to the senseless slaying of three entire houses of innocent people. At least, thatâs 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!
