About Three Dark Crowns (via Goodreads):
Fans of acclaimed author Kendare Blake’s Anna Dressed in Bloodwill devour her latest novel, a dark and inventive fantasy about three sisters who must fight to the death to become queen.
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 a fierce 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.

I originally wasn't sure whether I wanted to pick up this book, but Sarah @ YA Book Traveler made an INCREDIBLE book trailer for it, and I just fell in love with the concept as she made it come to life on the screen. I can't wait to see how the story plays out within the pages, and I'm interested to see what I'll think of (likely) the first Kendare Blake book I'll ever read.
OMG YAAASSSSS! Sarah's trailer was astounding!! I'm reading this book soon, and her trailer made me sooooo excited! I've also never read a Blake book before this XD Awesome pick girly ^_^
