In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born - three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is an elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions. But becoming the Queen Crowned isn't solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it's not just a game of win or lose ... it's life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins. The last queen standing gets the crown. -- back cover.

On the night of their sixteenth birthday, a set of triplet sisters, each born a queen with her own unique magical power, must fight each other to the death with the last queen standing getting the crown.

When she finally gets the crown, Queen Katharine faces murmurs of dissent among her people and the threat of her sisters returning to Fennbirn to usurp her throne.

"The Young Queens" is the story of a set of triplet sisters destined to fight to the death to win the crown; "The Oracle Queen" tells the story of the last queen born with the gift of sight.

En cada generación de la Isla de Fennbirn nacen trillizas ... y las tres son reinas, herederas en partes iguales de la corona, cada una poseedora de una magia codiciada. Mirabella es una elemental feroz, capaz de encender llamaradas voraces o tormentas brutales con un chasquido de dedos. Katharine es una envenenadora, alguien que puede ingerir los venenos más mortales sin nada más que un dolor de panza. De Arsinoe, una naturalista, se dice que tiene la habilidad de hacer florecer la rosa más roja y controlar al más salvaje de los animales. Pero convertirse en Reina Coronada no es únicamente una cuestión de nacimiento real. Cada hermana tiene que pelear por ello. Y no es solamente un juego en el que se gana o pierde ... es vida o muerte. La misma noche en que las hermanas cumplen dieciséis años comienza la batalla.

While Arsinoe searches for a cure to Jules's legion curse, Mirabella abandons the rebel army for Katharine, but the dead queens urge caution in trusting her, and as allegiances switch, the fate of Fennbirn Island will be determined.

The battle for Fennbirn has begun. The Quickening is behind them, and with the Ascension Year underway all bets are off. Katharine, once the weakest and feeblest of the triplets, 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 and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before -- ones that put those around her in danger she can't seem to prevent.
