“Rae Carson has proved she’s a master and has shaken up the YA genre.”—USAToday.com
The first book in Rae Carson’s award-winning and New York Times–bestselling trilogy! The Girl of Fire and Thorns is a sweeping journey full of adventure, sorcery, heartbreak, and power. Fans of George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones and Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse will devour this fantasy series.
Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.
Elisa is the chosen one. But she has always felt powerless, useless. 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. Fierce 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.

“蕾•卡森證明了她是一位大師,並且改變了青年小說的文類。”--《今日美國》網站
這是蕾•卡森屢獲殊榮的紐時暢銷三部曲中的第一本書!《火與荊棘之女》是一個充滿冒險、魔法、心碎和力量的全面旅程。喬治•R•R•馬丁的《權力遊戲》和李•芭度葛的《格里莎宇宙》的粉絲們將如飢似渴地閱讀這個奇幻系列。
每個世紀都有那麼一次,有個天選之人將出現來成就一番豐功偉業。
伊麗莎是天選之人。但她一直覺得自己無能為力,一無是處。現在,在她十六歲生日時,她成為了一位英俊的塵世國王的秘密妻子--一個國家處於動蕩之中的國王。國王需要她是個天選之人,而不是一個失敗的公主。
他不是唯一一個在找她的人。一身黑暗魔法的兇猛敵人正在追捕她。一個大膽、堅定的革命者認為她可以成為他人民的救星。很快地,攸關一切的不僅是她的生命,還有她的心。
伊麗莎對於非常需要她的人來說將是他們的一切希望。如果預言應驗。如果她發現自己內心深處的力量。如果她不會英年早逝。因為大多數的天選之人都會早死。
