## Biography

Three years after Elsabet becomes Queen Crowned, her gift is waning and she is suffering from a mysterious illness. As a result, she relies heavily on her maid Bess, and the commander of her Queensguard, Rosamund Antere.

Elsabet is also suffering emotionally from her marriage to her king-consort, William. He is extremely unfaithful, leading to many jealous outbursts from Elsabet.

After many months of being out of touch with her gift, Queen Elsabet dreams of a painter named Jonathan Denton. Jonathan approaches her to paint her portrait for the Midsummer Festival, and she agrees. Queen Elsabet and Jonathan strike up a friendship. One day during a trip to her chambers during the Midsummer Festival, Jonathan tastes some of Elsabet's tonic she receives from her foster brother Gilbert, meant to relieve her suffering from her illness. He discovers Queen Elsabet's being poisoned, and this is the reason behind her weakening gift.

Jonathan, Bess, Rosamund, and Catherine Howe, a member of the Black Council, work together to discover the source of the poisoning. They discover that Francesca Arron has been the person behind the poisoning. Francesca has also recruited Black Council member Sonia Beaulin and William, who has been sleeping with Francesca, to help undermine Queen Elsabet.

When Francesca realizes that her plan has been found out, she has Bess murdered. In an attempt to secure Queen Elsabet's reign for herself, the Denton, Howe, and Antere families are killed. Queen Elsabet is blamed for the murders and is locked away in the Volroy for twenty years until her triplets arrive.

## Personality

Camille has been described as a sweet girl by Willa, although the only person that have ever truly loved her was her husband. She looked forward to the *Gave Noir* "as a child to a festival feast." She loved the books in the library at Greavesdrake Manor, and always seemed young. Natalia said she killed her sisters poise.

## Biography

Camille was raised by the Arron family, as all poisoner queens are. Natalia Arron was like a sister to her. She took her crown by slyly and quietly poisoning her sisters. It took them days to die. They looked so peaceful that "had it not been for the froth on their lips, you would have thought they had died in their sleep." They died within the same hour of each other.

Once she became Queen Crowned, she was the third poisoner queen in a row. She only ruled for seven years because the Goddess sent her triplets early. People whisper that her triplets came so early because she was weak.

While at the Black Cottage, awaiting the birth of her triplets, Camille reflects on how every poisoner queen is weaker than the one before, including herself. She is also thankful to have Philippe and the love they share. The night after giving birth, visits her daughters in the other room. She goes alone because she thinks if Philippe sees them, he might want to hold them, which would only lead to him starting to think they belonged to him and not to the island.

Camille takes the midwife, Willa, into her confidence. She tells her that she purposely called out the wrong gift for Katharine and Arsinoe. Arsinoe is actually a poisoner and Katharine is a naturalist. She did this because she did not want another poisoner queen to sit on the throne. She also wanted to get what revenge she could on the Arron family because she was not treated well by them growing up. Camille knows that the Arrons will not treat Katharine well either, but is willing to subject Katharine to this fate in order to keep a poisoner off the throne. Camille tells Willa that she believes Mirabella will become the Queen Crowned. She then departs Fennbirn for the Mainland with her king-consort Philippe.

Naturalist

**Naturalist** is one of the five gifts of Fennbirn.

## Description

Naturalists wield the lifeblood of Fennbirn. They have the power to grow plants and commune with and command animals. A naturalist can ripen fruits in the palm of their hand, lure fish into their nets, or call birds to them. Naturalists are in tune with the changes in the environment. A hardworking people, they do not shy away from working the fields or gardens and love the outdoors. It is for this reason that poisoners and elementals often look down on them, dismissing them as country folk that do not deserve to be on the throne. If a naturalist's gift is strong enough, they will form a special bond with an animal, who will become their familiar. A familiar is a close to a naturalist as part of their soul. The stronger the gift, the stronger the familiar. Familiars and their naturalists can feel what the other feels and their actions are each other's as well.

Not many queens with the naturalist gift have sat on the throne, causing the gift as a whole to weaken. The most memorable naturalist queen was Queen Bernadine. She was extremely powerful and had a wolf for her familiar. It was in honor of this that the naturalist city is named Wolf Spring. Bernadine's Landing is also named after Queen Bernadine.

The color of the naturalists is green, and flowers are a common symbol.

* Queen Bernadine: the last and most well-known Naturalist Queen. The city of Wolf Spring was renamed in honor of her familiar due to the great pride she brought those with the Naturalist gift. She was extremely powerful, and had a dark wolf as a familiar, which won her the crown.
* Queen Theodora: a former Naturalist Queen. She used her horse familiar to trample her sister, which won her the crown.
* Queen Andira: Known as the White-Handed Queen. Her sisters were both Oracles, and thus were drowned at birth. This meant she became Queen Crowned without participating in the Ascension Year.

* The triplet queens are the only ones who can rule Fennbirn because no one else is as linked to the Goddess.

Rozum-Kaz

The magical vortex that sits at the south pole of Divadlo is known as the Rozum-Kaz. The only known "safe" entrance is through the mountain pass, protected by the Psychic Dragon of Whisper-Wind. It is said that passing through the vortex on the Astral plane will not protect you from the harsh storms, as there exists a metamagical torrent of energy on all sides.

Entering Rozum-Kaz affects the minds of creatures, causing insanity, amnesia, paralyzation, incapacitation, fear, and death. It is because of this that stories exist of lost cities still trapped under the dense magical fog. Through extensive research, it is found that great bursts of radiation can be seen projecting out into the Lež, and may be connected to the forming stars, or the creation of Kaz. It is because of this that observers theorize the magical vortex is consuming Sen, slowly fueling the creation of dense stardust, but there is no recorded proof due to the young age of the realm itself.

Sunpool

**Sunpool** is a city on Fennbirn. It is known as the Oracle City.

## Description

The white-walled city of Sunpool lies in the shadow of Mount Horn and is home to those with the sight-gift. In times past, it was a vibrant and thriving city with a great wall for protection and a sprawling white castle at its heart. The Lermont family once lived within the castle's walls, but they have since abandoned it and gone to live in a manor known as Lermont House. The white buildings of Sunpool are built close together and nestled so tightly that they resemble a cluster of sea-bleached coral. They say that when the sunset strikes, the city appears to burn. The beach is made of flat, gray stones and a rocky shoreline.

Much of the city's grandeur has been lost over the centuries due to the sight-gift weakening and the number of oracle dwindling. Both losses can be attributed to five centuries of drowned oracle queens following the reign of Queen Elsabet. Since that time, the people of Fennbirn have started to fear the sight as near a curse, and Sunpool has effectively become a forgotten city in the mountains. The once proud, white walls are crumbling, and chunks of stone have rolled away to wear down to roundness and be covered with moss. The Lermont castle, though still sprawling, has become covered in vines and the dirt of centuries.

## Notable Inhabitants

* Mathilde
* Lermont Family
* Gilbert Lermont (*The Oracle Queen*)
* Gilbert Lermont (*Five Dark Fates*)
* Bess
Sight

**Sight** is one of the five gifts of Fennbirn. People with this gift are known as Oracles.

## Description

The Sight is a rare and varied gift. The sight gift is not very well understood and it will never be as prolific as the other gifts. Sometimes this gift involves the powers of prophecy and visions, but other times it can involve mind reading and empathy. For some with this gift, it comes as being able to see cold spots that signal places of violence and bloodshed. Once it was not so uncommon, but having visions of the future had a tendency to turn dark in someone as strong as a queen. The last Oracle Queen was Queen Elsabet. She grew paranoid and went mad. She executed many people without evidence and a bloody rebellion led to chaos. Ever since her rule, if a queen is born with the Sight gift, they are drowned at birth. The gift still exists within the general population, but it is weak and growing weaker still. To depict the sight gift in paintings, the person is always painted with an aura of black shadow around their head. The stronger the gift, the blacker the shadow.

The city of Sunpool is known as the Oracle City. Their colors are grey and yellow.

The Oracle Queen

Book Cover

**The Oracle Queen** is a prequel novella in the *Three Dark Crowns* series by Kendare Blake.

## Synopsis

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the *Three Dark Crowns* series introduces readers to the Oracle Queen in this riveting prequel e-novella.

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 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? 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.

Fans of the *Three Dark Crowns* series will be enthralled with Queen Elsabet’s genesis, riveted by her madness, and compelled by her tragic—and bloody—reign.

## Description

Poisoners have immunity to toxins of any kind. They can concoct deadly poisons with a variety of effects. Poisoners also have the ability to heal, but they are not known for using this part of their gift. For a poisoner, snakebites are a tickle, spider bites feel like nothing, nightshade berries make wonderful appetizers, and poison ivy makes a nice bed to nap in. Poisoners have a natural talent of sleight of hand, allowing them to slip poison into their victim's food or drink. They are also naturally skilled at moving quickly and quietly, easily able to slip through a crowd. They make efficient spies and assassins. Poisoners tend to be thin, willowy people with a stern countenance and fair hair. It is believed that a poisoner queen's blood can become toxic to others. Poisoners are naturally severe and exacting. They can cut with a look as easily as with a knife. Due to their gift, there are few easy or merciful deaths for a poisoner.

For the past three generations, poisoner queens have sat on the throne, making the gift strong. The poisoners have taken over the capital city of Indrid Down, and the government by controlling the Black Council. The Arron family is the strongest, oldest, and wealthiest poisoner family on the island. As the foster family of the poisoner queens, they have no desire to give up the crown. It is said that the Arrons share blood with every poisoner line.

Prynn is known as the poisoners' city. Their traditional color is purple, and snakes and spiders are common symbols.
