While I have a fundamental hesitation about. The shock of revelation is cheap compared to the insistent tug of compelling characters that pull you to continue reading the narrative. But discovering her own formidable strength may be the one move that costs her everything: the crown, Varenia and Zadie. CROWN OF CORAL AND PEARL brings in a lot of new information right in the last fifty pages, which robs Rutherford’s otherwise good ending of some of its punch. In order to save her people, Nor must learn to negotiate the treacherous protocols of a court where lies reign and obsession rules. And as she grows closer to Ceren's brother, the charming Prince Talin, Nor uncovers startling truths about a failing royal bloodline, a murdered queen.and a plot to destroy the home she was once so eager to leave.
To Nor's dismay, her future husband, Prince Ceren, is as forbidding and cold as his home-a castle carved into a mountain and devoid of sunlight.
Then Zadie is gravely injured, and Nor is sent to Ilara in her place. But when a childhood accident left her with a permanent scar, it became clear that her identical twin sister, Zadie, would likely be chosen to marry the Crown Prince-while Nor remained behind, unable to ever set foot on land. Nor once dreamed of seeing the wondrous wealth and beauty of Ilara, the kingdom that's ruled her village for as long as anyone can remember. But though every girl longs to be chosen as the next princess, the cost of becoming royalty is higher than any of them could ever imagine. For generations, the princes of Ilara have married the most beautiful maidens from the ocean village of Varenia.
