Katharine sits on the throne, Mirabella and Arsinoe are in hiding, and an unexpected renegade is about to wage a war of her own. The crown has been won, but these queens are far from done.
The battle for the crown has begun, but which of the three sisters will prevail?
With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, must figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favour without anyone finding out. And Mirabella, once thought to be the strongest sister of all and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before - ones that put those around her in danger that she can’t seem to prevent.
In One Dark Throne, the enthralling sequel to Kendare Blake’s The New York Times-bestselling Three Dark Crowns, Fennbirn’s deadliest queens must face the one thing standing in their way of the crown: each other.
"Girl of Nightmares," the acclaimed sequel to Kendare Blake's "Anna
Dressed in Blood."
It's been months since the ghost of Anna Korlov opened a door to
Hell in her basement and disappeared into it, but ghost-hunter Cas
Lowood can't move on.
His friends remind him that Anna sacrificed herself so that Cas
could live--not walk around half dead. He knows they're right, but
in Cas's eyes, no living girl he meets can compare to the dead girl
he fell in love with.
Now he's seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he's asleep and
sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong...these
aren't just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and
ever more gruesome ways every time she appears.
Cas doesn't know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into
Hell, but he knows she doesn't deserve whatever is happening to her
now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it's time for him to return
the favor.

SE HA LIBRADO, SE HA DERRAMADO SANGRE Y SE HA CORONADO A UNA REINA,
PERO NO TODOS ESTÁN CONTENTOS CON EL RESULTADO. La reina Katharine
ha esperado toda su vida para llevar la corona. Pero su reino no
estÁ en paz: su pueblo no la quiere, los rumores sobre una

a rebellion grow stronger every day, and the fog is like another
enemy. Still, her worst nightmare is wondering whether her sisters
are truly dead or just waiting to usurp the throne. Mirabella and
Arsinoe are hiding out, until the ghost of a legendary Blue Queen
drives them to return to Fennbirn. And Jules is hiding on the

Katharine.
The Goddess War begins in "Antigoddess," the first installment of
the new series by acclaimed author of "Anna Dressed in Blood,"
Kendare Blake.
Old Gods never die...
Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting
beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and
Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for
living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.
Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths,
Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and
discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to
Cassandra--an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary
prophetess, protected and loved by a god.
These days, Cassandra doesn't involve herself in the business of
gods--in fact, she doesn't even know they exist. But she could be
the key in a war that is only just beginning.
Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with
other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an
attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become
corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of
their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get,
because immortals don't just flicker out.
Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers.
Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last
breath.
The Goddess War is about to begin.
