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 tragicâ??and bloodyâ??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 Elsabetâ??the legendary, and last, oracle queenâ??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!… (altro)

I feel so bad for Elsabet! I loved this book so much! I heard a lot of mixed reviews from this series but still decided to take a chance and I don't regret it at all so far! ( )

Predictable

Kendare Blake has created a magnificent world in this series. It is a well-written book, but lacks the suspense and surprise of the other stories. However, the story did provide background that was good to know. ( )

OK, my only problem with this novella is if Elsa was truly gifted with the sight, why didn't she foresee the betrayal coming??!! Other than that, I enjoyed this short story about the last oracle queen of Fennbirn. ( )

Okay, this book has me all *huh*??

It started well enough and as the story was building up it just got cut in the middle like an amputated limb. Wha?? Wha?? I need more MEAT to this story. I hope there will be some reference to Elsabet in the next book. Ugh

The Not Knowing is literally killing me, and my love for this series.

But like any good bookworm, we persevere. Onward friends! ( )
