The Firethorn Crown

Firethorn Chronicles Series, Book 1

By: Lea Doué

Narrated by: Zehra Jane Naqvi

A kingdom of shadows. A soldier sworn to protect. A princess silenced by love.

Plagued by her mother's matchmaking attempts, Princess Lily, the eldest of 12 sisters and heir to a mighty kingdom, struggles to prove herself worthy of her inheritance while avoiding the attention of unwanted admirers. Tradition forbids marriage with the man she loves, so she would rather rule alone than marry someone who only wants the crown.

Fleeing an overzealous suitor, Lily stumbles into a secret underground kingdom where she and her sisters encounter a mysterious sorcerer-prince and become entangled in a curse that threatens the ones she loves most. She must find a way to break the curse before time runs out, or risk sentencing herself and her sisters to a lifetime of darkness.

Princess of the Firethorn Crown

This is a story about the twelve dancing princesses with dragons! Lily is the eldest and is expected to choose her consort within a short period of time, Add in a mysterious underground kingdom with a dark brooding wizard and it makes for a interesting twist. Lily is in love with a dragon soldier and doesn't know if he will return her feelings, and if he doesn't then she and her sisters will have to remain in the underground kingdom forever. The narrator was amazing! she really reminds me of the female narrator in the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan. I really enjoyed this one, and cannot wait for the rest of the series!
The story is clean, fun and filled with adventure and of course happily ever after.
