Raised in the backwater province of Crowthorne, Cara finds her fate bound to a system she despises and a goddess she no longer believes in. When it becomes clear that the heir to the Elbian throne has found disfavor in the eyes of the goddess Annul, Cara is ordained by blood and required by law to take her cousin’s place as heir apparent.
One man from each of the twelve provinces are chosen by the royal council to pledge their lives and swords as champions and consorts of the future queen. From these men, Cara must choose the future king of Elbia. Before she is able to take her place on the throne, Cara and her Twelve must visit each province and perform a sacred ceremony, one that will make Cara question everything she thought was real.
Cara soon realizes that not all of the men who swore to protect her are what they seem, and there are those who would use her as a tool to gain power.
I started reading this book thinking I would like it, I was so wrong because I absolutely loved this book!!! Cara's Twelve is one of the best books I've read in at least 2 years.
The characters were absolutely amazing, the detail put in to them made me feel like I personally knew them. This book had so much detail I felt like I could see everything in front of me, I could almost feel Cara's pain at different times throughout the book. I have to admit I cried at the end, not because it was a happy ending but because I felt like she chose the wrong person. I know it's only my opinion, and the author did a wonderful job of writing this story.
I would love to read more books from this author. She completely took me by surprise with this book. Great job!!!
