Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings,
to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet
to read. It's
based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

A fugitive on the run, Ahnna has one goal:
return to Ithicana with warning of the greatest threat her homeland has
ever faced. But as she escapes into the wilderness, it is with the man
who broke her heart hunting at her heels—and James wants more than
justice. He wants revenge.
Desperate to prove his loyalty to his
family, James ventures into dangerous territory to capture his father’s
killer. But the longer he follows Ahnna’s trail, the more his certainty
of her guilt is tested—and the more the passion they once shared
reignites.
As schemes twist tighter and war brews, Ahnna and
James discover that the enemy isn’t each other—it is the masterminds
manipulating them both in pursuit of power. Yet their greatest obstacle
remains, because their loyalties are to opposing sides in the battle to
come. As the storms of the Tempest Seas lower their defenses, James and
Ahnna must choose where their hearts lie: on the battlefield, or in each
other’s arms.
I am so behind on this series! I've only read the first duology and that's where I am at still! Lol.
