Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.
A high-fantasy gothic fairytale inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Princess and the Pea.
Once upon a nightmare, her fairy tale begins...
After Lyra—a princess incapable of speech or sound—is cast out of her kingdom of daylight by her wicked aunt, a witch saves her life, steals her memories, and raises her in an enchanted forest ... disguised as a boy known only as Stain. Meanwhile, in Lyra's rival kingdom, the prince of thorns and night is dying, and the only way for him to break his curse is to wed the princess of daylight, for she is his true equal. As Lyra rediscovers her identity, an impostor princess prepares to steal her betrothed prince and her crown. To win back her kingdom, save the prince, and make peace with the land of the night, Lyra must be loud enough to be heard without a voice, and strong enough to pass a series of tests—ultimately proving she’s everything a traditional princess is not.
Super excited for this The Princess and the Pea retelling! That's not you common retelling tale, so I can't wait to see what A.G. will do with this one!

I enjoyed other books by Howard, and there is yet another gorgeous cover. I don't think I have read a Princess and the Pea retelling, so that is definitely intriguing.
ReplyDeleteOooh I think I've only see 1 other retelling of The Princess and the Pea before so I'll have to try this one :D

She always has such stunning covers. I loved her Alice Retelling and I would love to read a Princess and the Pea, I have never read something like that before.
ReplyDeleteA new one to me, though I've heard so much about A.G. Howard's books! That's such a stunning cover too!
