The world has turned upside down
for Thad and Ari Glavan, the bastard twins of Súndraille’s king. Their mother
was murdered. The royal family died mysteriously. And now Thad sits on the
throne of a kingdom whose streets are suddenly overrun with violence he can’t
stop.
Growing up ignored by the nobility,
Ari never wanted to be a proper princess. And when Thad suddenly starts
training Ari to take his place, she realizes that her brother’s ascension to
the throne wasn’t fate. It was the work of a Wish Granter named Alistair Teague
who tricked Thad into wishing away both the safety of his people and his soul
in exchange for the crown.
So Ari recruits the help of Thad’s
enigmatic new weapons master, Sebastian Vaughn, to teach her how to fight
Teague. With secret ties to Teague’s criminal empire, Sebastian might just hold
the key to discovering Alistair’s weaknesses, saving Ari’s brother—and herself.
But Teague is ruthless and more
than ready to destroy anyone who dares stand in his way—and now he has his
sights set on the princess. And if Ari can’t outwit him, she’ll lose Sebastian,
her brother…and her soul.
My Thoughts
This one comes out next week! I thought it was going to be
out later, sometime in the spring. It’s crazy how fast these book releases are
popping up. I’m so behind on buying and reading all of them.
As for The Wish
Granter, I read The Shadow Queen last
year and thought it was a pretty solid fairytale retelling. That one was about
Snow White, and this one’s about Rumpelstiltskin. I’m not a huge fan of Rumple,
even on the show Once Upon a Time (he’s
okay, but I like Belle more). Hopefully this story surprises me, because I
really enjoy Redwine’s writing and her love interests. ;)
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
