(3) YA Three Dark Crowns series. The triplet queens from Three Dark Crowns continue their fight for the throne of Fennbirn Island as their respective magical talents grow. Equally important, however, are the complicated networks of family, friends, and political allies each sister sustains. In Blake's second bloody high fantasy, a twisty series of betrayals and back-from-the-brink survivals climaxes as an unexpected sister ascends at the expense of the others.
