[Rezi] Kendare Blake – The Oracle Queen [Three Dark Crowns]
Klappentext Triplet queens born on the island of Fennbirn can be many things: Elementals. Poisoners. Naturalists.

This cautionary practice started long ago, with Queen Elsabet—the legendary, and last, oracle queen—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?
