The battle for the Crown has begun, but which of the three sisters will prevail?
With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, must figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favor without anyone finding out. And Mirabella, once thought to be the strongest sister of all and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before—ones that put those around her in danger she can’t seem to prevent.
In this enthralling sequel to Kendare Blake’s New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns, Fennbirn’s deadliest queens must face the one thing standing in their way of the crown: each other. – Goodreads.com
Don’t go into this book thinking you know what will happen – I guarantee you’ll be wrong. One Dark Throne is entirely unpredictable, and that’s just another reason I love Kendare Blake’s books.
After reading this novel, I now favor two of the queens for very justifiable reasons – but I don’t give away spoilers, so you’ll have to read it for yourself. There’s a plethora of characters in this series, but all are so well-drawn and distinct, there’s no confusion.
Reading this book is a roller coaster of emotions with the intense pace, unforeseen developments, and daring action. This dark, complex fantasy continues to enthrall. One Dark Throne is scheduled for publication September 19th, 2017.
Thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for the ARC.

I’d probably never get along with them – I always wanted brothers. Hugs, Teagan!
