About the book
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series introduces readers to the Oracle Queen in this riveting prequel novella. Fans of the series will be enthralled with Queen Elsabet’s genesis, riveted by her madness, and compelled by her tragic—and bloody—reign. 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. Don't miss Five Dark Fates, the thrilling conclusion to the series!

5.0I enjoyed this novella which really felt like a well rounded short story with characters that were only brushed on in the main series. I wouldn't have guessed that this is what has happened to Queen Elsabeth when everyone told the story of the mad queen and how she murdered three houses because she has seen with her gift that someone was going to assassinate her. Unlike The Young Queens, The Oracle Queen didn't provide with necessary information but with interesting, complementary one. It gave a better feeling for Fennbirn, the houses and the former customs before the Three Dark Crowns storyline. Having read both The Young Queens and The Oracle Queen I feel like I got a better understanding for the main story and the world around it altogether. I liked Queen Elsabeth's character, she was sympathetic and I felt for her. She had such bad luck and the worst of surroundings to even get a chance as to rise to a good, well-beloved queen. Last but not least, here's a saying that fell into my mind when finished reading The Oracle Queen: Only winners write history.
