Once upon a time there was a coffin, an evil stepmother, and a girl destined for greatness. Serena Smith is unusual. Growing up as an outcast in her backwoods village, her life is grim and hard and lonely. Then, on her eighteenth birthday, she is given a magical heirloom and suffers a heart-breaking loss. Still reeling, she is forced into exile, snatched by fae and condemned to a lifetime in chains. Dragged to Aldar, a fae kingdom ruled by a tyrant witch, Serena soon discovers the embers of a forbidden love, and meets fellow exiles, each with their own secrets. As the lives of warriors, rebels, and witches clash, they discover a shared destiny. For only together, and with Serena's newfound gifts, can she and her companions escape a cruel master and survive a realm of monsters and spies, while building the flames of a revolution. From the author of the Southern Fire series comes this explosive new fantasy adventure with lots of heart and a sting in its tail. *Contains mature content. Not suitable for the younger reader.*

I have to admit that this was pretty much a cover buy. It's gorgeous! And, it's about the fae which I love.
I've heard this compared to Sarah J. Maas, but I have not read her books so I don't know if that is true or not.
This story follows Serena. She has always been different. Most people avoid her. Her mother is dead, her father got remarried and her step-mother is horrible. Her life can't get much worse. Can it?
Apparently it can. She is taken by the fae. She is to be trained as a warrior for Morgan. What can a weak human do in a fae war you ask? Read this to find out.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, the world, the magic. I really liked the writing style as well. I am very excited for the next one.
