Gig Harbor Literary Society October

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 1st at 6:00 pm at the Harbor History Museum. The book for our October meeting is Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake.

--------------------------------------------------------- 

Fans of acclaimed author Kendare Blake’s Anna Dressed in Blood will devour Three Dark Crowns, the first book in a dark and inventive fantasy series 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.

 The book is available from the Gig Harbor branch of Pierce County Public Library. You can get a copy in one of several ways:

1. Call and identify yourself as a Gig Harbor Literary Society member and the staff will put a copy aside for you.

2. Request through the library website.

3. Request an electronic version through the Libby app on your device. (If you don't know how to do this, the library staff may be able to help.)

We look forward to hearing your thoughts. As always, even if you don't have a chance to read or listen to the book, join us.
