Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.
Lochlanach has traded the great beast for something far more terrible, a Lashed enemy veiled in beauty, deception, and a vengeance passed down through generations: Rozaria Rocato. And she’s offering the hunter Paxton Seabolt power and acceptance he could never receive in his homeland. Pax must decide how far he’s willing to go under her tutelage, knowing she is the opponent of Princess Aerity Lochson.
In a land where traditionalists dread change, the Lochlan throne must contend with mysterious foes and traitors, while attempting to keep revolt at bay. As dire circumstances strike the royal family, matters of the castle are left in Aerity’s hands. It's time to put aside her fears and grasp the reign, taking actions that have the potential to save or destroy her people.
One hunt has ended, but the pursuit for love and justice continue. In this sequel to The Great Hunt from New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins, political intrigue and romance intensify in another thrilling fantasy. Princess Aerity embraces a quest for identity and passion before making the ultimate sacrifice for her kingdom.
So can't wait to start this one! Last year it seemed there was a slew of duologies starting and not wanting to suffer several times over, I decided I would binge read them all the following year. And the following year is upon us! LOL!

The sizzling, un-put-downable sequel to the bestselling Rebel of the Sands!
Mere months ago, gunslinger Amani al'Hiza fled her dead-end hometown on the back of a mythical horse with the mysterious foreigner Jin, seeking only her own freedom. Now she's fighting to liberate the entire desert nation of Miraji from a bloodthirsty sultan who slew his own father to capture the throne.
When Amani finds herself thrust into the epicenter of the regime—the Sultan's palace—she's determined to bring the tyrant down. Desperate to uncover the Sultan's secrets by spying on his court, she tries to forget that Jin disappeared just as she was getting closest to him, and that she's a prisoner of the enemy. But the longer she remains, the more she questions whether the Sultan is really the villain she's been told he is, and who’s the real traitor to her sun-bleached, magic-filled homeland.
Forget everything you thought you knew about Miraji, about the rebellion, about djinni and Jin and the Blue-Eyed Bandit. In Traitor to the Throne, the only certainty is that everything will change.
SUPER excited for this one! Loooved Rebel of the Sands last year and cannot wait to find out what happens next!

I have Traitor to the Throne but I still haven't read The great hunt.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by both your picks!! I haven't read Rebel of the Sands yet, and I meant to read The Great Hunt last year, but I still have to put my hands on it . . . I should really do something about that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, here's my WoW :)
I meant to start both of these series already. Since I haven't I am playing on reading the first one right before the second ones come out. Both of these look so good.

I still haven't read the first books in these series! I own Rebel of the Sands, but I don't own Wendy's book yet. I loved her Sweet series, so I'm not sure what I'm waiting for...

TRAITOR TO THE THROOONNNEE! Can't wait for it! Great picks :D
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Great Hunt (yet!!), but I plan to. I really enjoyed reading Higgins' Sweet trilogy, so I really want to read more from her. I cannot wait for Traitor to the Throne! It wasn't my favorite of 2016, but it was pretty high up there. I'm interested to see where the story takes us! Great picks this week Jessica! Thanks for visiting my WoW. :)
ReplyDeleteI still need to read Rebel of the Sands. I feel like such a loser. Soon, I hope. Enjoy these once you get a chance to read them.
ReplyDeleteThese both sound interesting. I haven't read anything from Wiggins yet but have her sweet series on the shelf ready to read. Hopefully I can dive into those before this though!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these books sound really interesting! I hope you enjoy them both!
