Waiting on Wednesday: Death Marked



"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...

Death Marked
(Death Sworn #2)
Publication Date: March 3, 2014
Hardcover, 400 pages, Greenwillow
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult

A young sorceress’s entire life has been shaped to destroy the empire controlling her world. But if everything she knows is a lie, will she even want to fulfill her destiny? The sequel to Death Sworn is just as full of magic and surprising revelations, and will thrill fans of Leigh Bardugo and Robin LaFevers.

At seventeen, Ileni lost her magical power and was exiled to the hidden caves of the assassins. She never thought she would survive long. But she discovered she was always meant to end up, powerless, in the caves as part of an elder sorcerer’s plan to destroy the evil Empire they'd battled so long. Except that Ileni is not an assassin, and she doesn't want to be a weapon. And, after everything, she’s not even sure she knows the truth. Now, at the very heart of the Empire—its academy for sorcerers—the truth is what she seeks. What she finds challenges every belief she holds dear—and it threatens her fledgling romance with the young master of assassins.

Leah Cypess spins an intricate and beautiful conclusion to Ileni's story. In the end, it may not be the epic decisions that bring down an empire, but the small ones that pierce the heart.

My Thoughts

I read the first book. LOOOOOVED IT! It had smexy assassins, magic, mystery and just a pile of awesome-sauce. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?

  1. I really need to read Death Sworn. I LOVE Leah Cypess, I just haven't gotten to that one yet. At least I won't have to wait as long for Death Marked.
