She does not know what awaits her at the enemy''s gate.

Elisa is a hero.

She led her people to victory over a terrifying, sorcerous army. Her place as the country''s ruler should be secure. But it isn''t.

Her enemies come at her like ghosts in a dream, from foreign realms and even from within her own court. And her destiny as the chosen one has not yet been fulfilled.

To conquer the power she bears, once and for all, Elisa must follow a trail of long-forgotten-and forbidden-clues, from the deep, hidden catacombs of her own city to the treacherous seas. With her go a one-eyed spy, a traitor, and the man whom-despite everything-she is falling in love with.

If she''s lucky, she will return from this journey. But there will be a cost.

    The Best "Second" A Trilogy Ever Had
    by ekjo
    9 months ago

    Second books are hard. Not everyone can manage an "Empire Strikes Back". With CROWN OF EMBERS, Carson not only attempts to equal the awesomeness of her debut GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS, she attempts to surpass it. And I have to say, she is wildly, wildly successful. CROWN OF EMBERS takes Elisa further along her path as a new Queen and the Chosen of God. It's hard, and she can't do what her heart is calling her to do, but she walks it anyway. She uses her brain and thinks on her feet, and it is amazing to read. And I don't often say this, but the romantic developments BLEW. ME. AWAY. The book is also beautifully written. Carson's world is stark and brilliant, and it was great to really get lost in the story as it unfolded. If you are looking for a fantastically written book about a marvelous and strong character (cast of characters, really. Everyone in the book is pretty amazing, even the villains), this is certainly the book for you.
