Waiting on Wednesday (WoW) is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week’s WoW feature is:
The Burning Sky
by Sherry Thomas
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Expected publication: September 17, 2013
It all began with a ruined elixir and an accidental bolt of lightning…
Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she’s being told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of The Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the greatest mage tyrant the world has ever known. A suicide task for anyone let alone a sixteen-year-old girl with no training, facing a prophecy that foretells a fiery clash to the death.
Prince Titus of Elberon has sworn to protect Iolanthe at all costs but he’s also a powerful mage committed to obliterating the Bane to revenge the death of his family—even if he must sacrifice both Iolanthe and himself to achieve his goal.
But Titus makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the Bane closing in, he must choose between his mission and her life. (Goodreads)
I enjoy fantasy, but I don’t consider myself a huge fan. I mean, it pretty much has to be amazing to grip me… but The Burning Sky had me from the cover. The synopsis sounds awesome, and I’ve been hearing great things about it already. I’m really looking forward to this one! I’m hoping to get my hands on a copy at BEA :).
What book are you anxiously waiting for this week?
1. That cover is gorgeous
2. The plot sounds intriguing
3. I don’t consider myself a huge fan of fantasy, but I might have to give this one a try
Best of luck grabbing one at BEA – and enjoy.
Happy Reading!
