Lauren M O asked Kendare Blake:

I was reading warrior of legend when I saw that one of the Aristene, the one with the tattooed black crown on her head, was from Fennbirn, which blew my mind. I didn’t make the connection to your 3 dark crowns books, until today. I was wondering what the connection is? Who was she? When does this book take place compared to the three dark crowns?

Kendare Blake She’s Queen Aethiel, legendary War Queen of Fennbirn. She ruled a long time before Mira, Arsinoe and Kat were born but Emilia talks about her in Two Dark Reigns. Champion of Fate and Warrior of Legend take place hundreds of years before Three Dark Crowns. But we’ll see Aethiel and the Aristene again in Three Dark Crowns 5, since they’re immortal and still alive.

That is, if the book turns out to be any good!
