"I stayed up until two a.m. reading this last night. Intense, unique. . . . Definitely recommended."—Veronica Roth, author of the best-selling Divergent series
Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness. Elisa is the chosen one. But she is also the younger of two princesses. The one who has never done anything remarkable, and can't see how she ever will. 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 her to be the chosen one, not a failure of a princess.
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. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake.
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. Most of the chosen do.

This was an awesome book, So Elisa is only 16 when she is forced to marry a handsome king named Alejandro. She was also born with a "godstone" which is like a gift from God, and she's able to communicate with God. Because of the godstone she is also able to know, if danger is coming her way. When staying at a house, she is kidnapped and meets Humberto and Cosme; her servant from the house who is actually a spy. Elisa, then stays with them until being found by one of Alejandro's friends. She then has to plot plans for the war between the Inviernos and her own people.
