Description
Elisa has always been the overlooked younger princess, unremarkable and uncertain of her place in the world—until her sixteenth birthday transforms her into the secret wife of a powerful king whose kingdom teeters on the brink of chaos. Thrust into a role she never expected, she discovers she may be the chosen one of prophecy, destined for greatness, yet haunted by the knowledge that most who bear this burden do not survive. As savage enemies wielding dark magic close in and a revolutionary leader emerges with his own vision for her future, Elisa must navigate treacherous political waters, unexpected romance, and the terrifying possibility that she alone holds the key to salvation—or destruction. With lyrical prose and richly imagined world-building, Rae Carson weaves a tale of self-discovery, duty, and the fierce power that awakens when a girl learns to believe in herself. In a world where prophecy demands everything, Elisa must decide who she truly is and what she's willing to sacrifice to fulfill her destiny.
