Publisher's Summary

“I love this series to pieces and so should you.” (Marie Lu, best-selling author of Warcross)

The third book in Rae Carson’s award-winning and New York Times best-selling trilogy!

In the deeply satisfying conclusion, 17-year-old sorcerer-queen Elisa travels into the unknown realm of the enemy to win back her true love, save her country, and uncover the final secrets of her destiny. Perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce and Brandon Sanderson.

The champion must not waver. The champion must not fear. The gate of darkness closes.

Elisa is a fugitive. Her enemies have stolen the man she loves, and they await her at the gate of darkness. Her country is on the brink of civil war, her own soldiers ordered to kill her on sight. Elisa will lead her loyal companions deep into the enemy’s kingdom, a land of ice and snow and vicious magic, to rescue Hector and win back her throne.

Her power grows with every step, and the shocking secrets she will uncover could change the course of history.

Don’t miss Empire of Dreams, Rae Carson’s action-packed return to the world of The Girl of Fire and Thorns!

beautiful

A strong, heart wrenching finale to the Fire & Thorns adventure. As always, beautiful writing by Rae and a stunning narration be Jennifer Ikeda and Luis Moreno. Five stars across the board.

Narrators

Ikeda is a wonderful narrator but why did they partner her with a terrible monotone narrator like Moreno? It ruins the book.
