Title: The Girl of Fire and Thorns

Author: Rae Carson

KDL Description:

I just finished The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson and really enjoyed it – very cool setting similar to medieval Spain (but with a fantasy twist), a great heroine, and a plot that keeps you on your toes so that just when I thought I knew where the book was heading, the author would throw a surprising twist and it would go in a totally different direction.

Amazon Description:

Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.

Elisa is the chosen one.

But she is also the younger of two princesses. The one who has never done anything remarkable, and can’t see how she ever will.

Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king—a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs her to be the chosen one, not a failure of a princess.

And he’s not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies, seething with dark magic, are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people’s savior, and he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake.

Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn’t die young.

Most of the chosen do.
