Goodreads Synopsis: 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 trial 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.
My Thoughts:
- It took me a little while to decide, but yes, I liked this one even more than the first book.
- I LOVED Elisa's journey and self discovery in this story. I was frustrated with her at moments, but it was all part of her story arc.
- I loved her growing relationship with Hector, and the tension is delicious.
- This is one of those stories that stayed with me for several days. I kept thinking about it and everything that happened.
- The ending is gut wrenching is awesome! I can't wait for the third and final book!

I’m excited now. My sister told me I wouldn’t like the first one so I’ve put off reading it. I’ll have to pick it up.
