Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that I'm eagerly anticipating.
Expected publication: May 30th 2017 by Scholastic Press
On her eighteenth birthday, Princess Evelayn of Eadrolan, the Light Kingdom, can finally access the full range of her magical powers. The light looks brighter, the air is sharper, and the energy she can draw when fighting feels almost limitless.
But while her mother, the queen, remains busy at the war front, in the Dark Kingdom of Dorjhalon, the corrupt king is plotting. King Bain wants control of both kingdoms, and his plan will fling Evelayn into the throne much sooner than she expected.
In order to defeat Bain and his sons, Evelayn will quickly have to come into her ability to shapeshift, and rely on the alluring Lord Tanvir. But not everyone is what they seem, and the balance between the Light and Dark comes at a steep price.
In the first book of a remarkable duology, Sara B. Larson sets the stage for her reimagining of Swan Lake -- a lush romance packed with betrayal, intrigue, magic, and adventure.
A reimagining of Swan Lake! So yeah, of course I'm going to have to read this book. I really, really like the sound of it and I also think the cover is great. There are just so many books coming out in May that I want. Oh well. ;)
What book are you waiting for?
Leave me the link to your post so I can stop by!
The cover for this one is GORGEOUS. I can't wait for this one as well. I'm definitely in for a Swan Lake retelling!
