Vo svete, v ktorom sa len zopár ľudí vyznačuje mimoriadnou schopnosťou známou ako obdarenie, umožnilo kráľovi Leckovi jeho obdarenie klamať tak, že mu každý bez výnimky veril. Keď sa Bitterblue stala vo veku desať rokov kráľovnou, myslela si, že vražda jej otca navždy ukončila jeho násilnícky a neľudský vplyv na celú spoločnosť. Mýlila sa. Netrpezlivo očakávané pokračovanie bestsellerov podľa denníka New York Times, ktoré na Slovensku vyšli pod názvom Výnimočná a Ohnivá, je dokonca ešte viac „zúrivé, vznetlivé, no miestami aj zádumčivé,“ a plné romantiky. Osemnásťročná kráľovná Bitterblue má pocit, že jej radcovia sa ju snažia príliš ochraňovať pred celým svetom, a tak začne podnikať tajné výlety z hradu. Sama a v prevlečení sa túla nočnými ulicami svojho mesta a riskuje nielen vlastný život, ale aj svoje srdce.
