"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
Blood Rose Rebellion by Rosalyn Eves
The thrilling first book in a YA fantasy trilogy for fans of Red Queen.
In a world where social prestige derives from a trifecta of blood,
money, and magic, one girl has the ability to break the spell that holds
the social order in place.
Sixteen-year-old Anna Arden
is barred from society by a defect of blood. Though her family is part
of the Luminate, powerful users of magic, she is Barren, unable to
perform the simplest spells. Anna would do anything to belong. But her
fate takes another course when, after inadvertently breaking her
sister’s debutante spell—an important chance for a highborn young woman
to show her prowess with magic—Anna finds herself exiled to her family’s
once powerful but now crumbling native Hungary.
Her life might well be over.
In
Hungary, Anna discovers that nothing is quite as it seems. Not the
people around her, from her aloof cousin Noémi to the fierce and
handsome Romani Gábor. Not the society she’s known all her life, for
discontent with the Luminate is sweeping the land. And not her lack of
magic. Isolated from the only world she cares about, Anna still can’t
seem to stop herself from breaking spells.
As rebellion spreads
across the region, Anna’s unique ability becomes the catalyst everyone
is seeking. In the company of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romanies,
Anna must choose: deny her unique power and cling to the life she’s
always wanted, or embrace her ability and change that world forever.
