Two Dark Reigns
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake returns with the highly anticipated third book in the Three Dark Crowns series! And while Arsinoe, Mirabella, and Katharine all have their own scores to settle, there is another queen stirring things up on Fennbirn Island.
Queen Katharine has waited her entire life to wear the crown. But now that she finally has it, the murmurs of dissent grow louder by the day. There's also the alarming issue of whether her sisters are actually dead—or if they're waiting in the wings to usurp the throne.
Mirabella and Arsinoe are alive, but in hiding on the mainland and dealing with a nightmare of their own: being visited repeatedly by a specter they think might be the fabled Blue Queen. Though she says nothing, her rotting, bony finger pointing out to sea is clear enough: return to Fennbirn.
Jules, too, is in a strange place—in disguise. And her only confidants, a war-gifted girl named Emilia and her oracle friend Mathilde, are urging her to take on a role she can't imagine filling: a legion-cursed queen who will lead a rebel army to Katharine's doorstep.
This is an uprising that the mysterious Blue Queen may have more to do with than anyone could have guessed—or expected.
Don't miss Five Dark Fates, the thrilling conclusion to the series!

"Brutally brilliant and exquisitely devastating. Kendare Blake is a master of plot twists and making hearts bleeds. This book destroyed me in the best possible way. Prepare to be ruined." — Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval and Legendary
★ "Tragic, devastating, horrifying, enthralling." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This third series installment expanded on the world introduced in Three Dark Crowns and One Dark Throne, and the stakes, if possible, are higher than ever. Fans will be ready to kill for this." — ALA Booklist
PRAISE FOR ONE DARK THRONE: ★ "Blake's already pitch-dark tale shades even darker. Exquisitely restrained prose, deliberate pacing, paying off in a tumultuous climax that piles one shocking twist upon another. Achingly gorgeous and gruesomely fascinating." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This sequel to Three Dark Crowns loses none of that book's momentum, powering toward a conclusion that leaves several doors open. With wonderfully drawn characters and a lethal, unpredictable plot, this follow-up will leave readers breathless as the queens' fates unfold." — ALA Booklist
PRAISE FOR THREE DARK CROWNS: "New exciting heights with a driving plot. Dark indeed, and exploring themes of loyalty, this is a thrilling sequel with everything from action to romance to entice readers. A strong purchase for YA fantasy shelves." — School Library Journal
"Three Dark Crowns is a brutal and inventive fantasy that is as addictive as it is horrifying. I can't begin to guess the fates of these three remarkable sister-queens, but I'm salivating like poisoners at a feast to find out what will happen next." — Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of the Lunar Chronicles Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of the Lunar Chronicles
"Full of mystery, intrigue, and deadly girls I wouldn't dare cross, Fennbirn is a darkly magical world I'm both drawn to and frightened by. In short, this is a book I could linger in for months, with three girls I am rooting for with all my heart." — Megan Shepherd, New York Times bestselling author of The Cage series Megan Shepherd, New York Times bestselling author of The Cage series
★ "With exquisite world building and luminous detail, this is high fantasy at its best. The magic is fierce and the plot intensely twisted, but at this novel's dark heart beats a story about sisterhood, the unbreakable bonds of family, and ties that bind enough to kill." — Booklist (starred review)
★ "The opener to a pitch-black epic fantasy series. Blake has constructed an insular, matriarchal society from convincing intimate details, vivid, complicated characters, [and] sumptuous, poetic prose. Gorgeous and bloody, tender and violent, precise, and passionate; above all, completely addicting. " — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"I loved this book. Blake's Three Dark Crowns is hypnotic, twisting, and beautiful...as satisfying as a drop of poison in an enemy's cup." — April Genevieve Tucholke, author of Wink, Poppy, Midnight
"Readers will be riveted by Blake's ingenious world-building, stunning developments of main and supporting characters, and spiraling tensions. Highly recommended for fans of fantasy action thrillers with strong female leads, such as Victoria Aveyard's 'Red Queen' and Sarah J. Maas's 'Throne of Glass' series." — School Library...

Grades 9-12 Against all odds, Arsinoe and Mirabella have escaped the island of Fennbirn and now struggle to do what no queen before ever has: live a normal life on the mainland. That, however, is proving to be easier said than done. Though their powers wane as they're separated from the island, Arsinoe is having visions of the legendary Blue Queen?a rare fourth-born queen considered so blessed that her sisters were murdered at birth?and she is telling them, unmistakably, to go home. Meanwhile, on the island, Katharine is queen at last, but her reign is uneasy. And Jules Milone, who, as all of �Fennbirn now knows is cursed with two powerful, magical gifts, is surprised to discover how many people support her. Revolution is coming, and it could shatter the island's foundation. This third series installment expands the world introduced in Three Dark Crowns? (2016) and One Dark Throne (2017), and the stakes, if possible, are higher than ever. There's one more book to go, and the cliff-hanger ending makes it clear: this battle's only just begun. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: One Dark Throne hit number one on the NYT best-seller list, and demand was high enough to make this original duology a quartet. Fans will be ready to kill for this volume.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)

Starred review from August 15, 2018
In the third entry in a pitch-black fantasy quartet, everyone acts with the best of intentions--and everything goes terribly, terribly wrong.Katharine, newly Queen Crowned of Fennbirn, just wants a peaceful, prosperous reign, but the people fear her, the vengeful spirits strengthening her urge ever more dreadful deeds, and even the eldritch mist protecting the island has seemingly turned against its inhabitants. Jules Milone wishes only to learn more about her cursed legion gift, but the warriors and oracles insist she lead their rebellion, defying the prophecy that she may be the island's doom. Mirabella and Arsinoe try desperately to conform to the patriarchal culture of their mainland refuge, but visions of a centuries-gone Blue Queen demand their return. The barrage of intrigue, betrayals, spells, portents, and grisly violence unleashed in this volume almost overwhelms, as multiple viewpoints follow several intertwining plotlines, both epic and intimate, across present and past. Blake's (One Dark Throne, 2017, etc.) elegant, understated prose unfolds new facets of the island's culture, revealing sinister truths behind pious legends. The richly-drawn characters default to white and mostly heterosexual (although at least one culture celebrates bisexuality). Some take comfort in male lovers living or dead, but the narrative is mostly driven by the complicated relationships between strong, vibrant women: mothers and daughters, friends and rivals, Goddess and priestess, and--above all--sisters. Tragic, devastating, horrifying, enthralling. (cast of characters, map) (Fantasy. 14 -adult)COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
