Three Dark Crowns is by Kendare Blake. The first book in the fantasy Three Dark Crowns series. On the island of Fennbirn, every generation sees the birth of three triplet queens. Each queen has a different skill set: poisoner, naturalist, elemental, etc. They are raised separately and taught to master their specific skill. When they turn 16 at Beltane, they must demonstrate their skill and then each has a year to kill the other two and become queen. Think "Mad Max," three girls enter, one girl leaves. The series focuses on three queens: Mirabella (elemental), Katharine (poisoner), and Arsinoe (naturalist) - which will ultimately win the crown?
