YA, Fantasy
Follows two fiercely independent
young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom
it.
When assassins ambush her best
friend, the crown prince, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him,
exposing her ability to perform all seven kinds of elemental magic. The only
people who should possess this extraordinary power are a pair of prophesied
queens: a queen of light and salvation and a queen of blood and destruction. To
prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven trials to test her magic.
If she fails, she will be executed...unless the trials kill her first.
A thousand years later, the legend
of Queen Rielle is a mere fairy tale to bounty hunter Eliana Ferracora. When
the Undying Empire conquered her kingdom, she embraced violence to keep her family
alive. Now, she believes herself untouchable--until her mother vanishes without
a trace, along with countless other women in their city. To find her, Eliana
joins a rebel captain on a dangerous mission and discovers that the evil at the
heart of the empire is more terrible than she ever imagined.
As Rielle and Eliana fight in a
cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking
connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world--and of
each other.
My Thoughts
This one seems like a big deal. Everyone and their brother
is talking about it. I’ve already preordered this one for the swag. It’s
character cards! And they’re very pretty. This is another fantasy book that I
don’t know the whole synopsis for, but who cares? I’m just a collector of YA
fantasy books at this point. ;)
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
Nice!! Seeing a lot of this one lately! Hope you thoroughly enjoy it once you read it!
