The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns, #1)

<b>Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.</b><br />Elisa is the chosen one. <br /><br />But she is also the younger of two princesses, the one who has never done anything remarkable. She can't see how she ever will. <br /><br />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 the chosen one, not a failure of a princess.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Most of the chosen do.
