In the sequel to the acclaimed The Girl of Fire and Thorns, a seventeen-year-old princess turned war queen faces sorcery, adventure, untold power, and romance as she fulfills her epic destiny. 

Elisa is the hero of her country. She led her people to victory against a terrifying enemy, and now she is their queen. But she is only seventeen years old. Her rivals may have simply retreated, choosing stealth over battle. And no one within her court trusts her-except Hector, the commander of the royal guard, and her companions. As the country begins to crumble beneath her and her enemies emerge from the shadows, Elisa will take another journey. With a one-eyed warrior, a loyal friend, an enemy defector, and the man she is falling in love with, Elisa crosses the ocean in search of the perilous, uncharted, and mythical source of the Godstone’s power. That is not all she finds.

A breathtaking, romantic, and dangerous second volume in the Fire and Thorns trilogy. 

The Girl of Fire and Thorns and The Scorpio Races were- in my very humble opinion- the Best Books of 2011. My mind melted when I read them, I couldn't think of anything else but them for weeks after having read them. 

I'm so very excited for Crown of Embers, aside from the amazing Elisa, I need to have some more Lord Hector, who had few scenes, but each one just shone off the page.  And since we only got to see peeks inside his armor, I'm so curious to see if we will see more of what's behind the curtain.
