Theo (Princess Theodosia) may have defeated the Kaiser, but her old “friend” Cress, now the Kaiserin, is proving to be as ruthless (and more desperate) than the Kaiser was. Theo’s life and the lives of everyone she loves will be at risk and Theo comes into her power and puts everything into redeeming her country.

I indulged in a weekend of Sebabtian as I reread #1, and then read #2 and #3 in an effort to catch up.  And I am so glad I did.  Every school with a well-circulating fantasy section needs this.
