Coulthurst, Audrey

Princesses Mare and Denna are finally together, but with Denna's gift of forbidden and dangerous fire magic, Mare knows settling down together will be difficult. Now, Denna must travel to the secret kingdom of Zumorda, where she can train with her fire without fear of persecution. Mare goes along with her in secret, disguised as an ambassador. When they arrive in Zumorda, though, the two princesses learn there has been an attack on a border town in Mynaria. Mare must make an alliance with the Zumordan queen to save her homeland, but the queen is only interested in Denna's powerful magic. Denna may have to choose between her fire and Mare.

"Asra is a demigod with a dangerous gift: the ability to dictate the future by writing with her blood. To keep her power secret, she leads a quiet life as a healer on a remote mountain, content to help the people in her care and spend time with Ina, the mortal girl she loves.

"Betrothed since childhood to the prince of Mynaria, Princess Dennaleia has always known what her future holds. Her marriage will seal the alliance between Mynaria and her homeland, protecting her people from other hostile kingdoms. But Denna has a secret. She possesses an Affinity for fire-a dangerous gift for the future queen of a land where magic is forbidden. Now Denna has to learn the ways of her new kingdom while trying to hide her growing magic. To make matters worse, she must learn to ride Mynaria's formidable warhorses before her coronation-and her teacher is the person who intimidates her most, the prickly and unconventional Princess Amaranthine, sister of her betrothed. When a shocking assassination leaves the kingdom reeling, Mare and Denna reluctantly join forces to search for the culprit. As the two work together, they discover there is more to one another than they thought-and soon their friendship is threatening to blossom into something more. But with dangerous conflict brewing that makes the alliance more important than ever, acting on their feelings could be deadly. Forced to choose between their duty and their hearts, Mare and Denna must find a way to save their kingdoms-and each other"--Back cover.
