Perfect for you if...

You love fantasy with real stakes where the chosen one isn't confident and has to actually earn her power through struggle, not destiny.
You want a heroine who grows into her role across a trilogy rather than being special from page one.
You enjoy romance woven into epic fantasy without it overshadowing the larger magical conflicts at play.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer chosen ones who are already exceptional and know their worth before the story begins.
You want fast-paced adventure without character doubt or introspection slowing the plot.
You need your fantasy standalone or don't want to commit to a trilogy to get answers.

About this book

The first book in a New York Times best-selling trilogy, The Girl of Fire and Thorns follows Elisa, a younger princess chosen once a century for greatness. Despite her selection, she has never accomplished anything remarkable and doubts she ever will. On her sixteenth birthday, Elisa becomes the secret wife of a handsome king whose country is in crisis. He needs her to fulfill her role as the chosen one, not to be a failed princess. However, she is also hunted by savage enemies wielding dark magic. A revolutionary leader believes she could save his people and regards her in ways no one has before. Elisa has the potential to become everything those around her need—if the prophecy comes true, if she discovers her inner power, and if she survives. Most of the chosen do not.
