Triplet queens born on the island of Fennbirn can be many things: Elementals. Poisoners. Naturalists. If an oracle<\/em> queen is born, however, one with the gift of sight, she\u2019s immediately drowned, extinguishing her chance at ever taking the throne.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not how\u00a0it always was. This cautionary practice started long ago, with Queen Elsabet\u2014the legendary, and last, oracle queen\u2014whose reign was tinged with blood and horror.<\/p>\n

Paranoid, ruthless, and utterly mad, Elsabet\u2019s mistrust led to the senseless slaying of three entire houses of innocent people. At least, that\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
