Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.
I love a good assassin book, and this debut looks like it could be a great read. Assassins, conspiracy, traitors… yep. I want.
Age of Assassins (The Wounded Kingdom #1) by R.J. Barker
Published by Orbit on August 1st 2017
Pages: 432 
To catch an assassin, use an assassin…
Girton Club-foot, apprentice to the land’s best assassin, still has much to learn about the art of taking lives. But his latest mission tasks him and his master with a far more difficult challenge: to save a life. Someone, or many someones, is trying to kill the heir to the throne, and it is up to Girton and his master to uncover the traitor and prevent the prince’s murder.
In a kingdom on the brink of civil war and a castle thick with lies Girton finds friends he never expected, responsibilities he never wanted, and a conspiracy that could destroy an entire kingdom.
Don’t know that I’ll ever pick this one up but cool cover! Hope you love it.

I’m a bit undecided on the cover for some reason.

For some reason, I hadn’t given this cover much thought or notice until people started mentioning it.

Ooh fantasy and assassins. I need a new fantasy series to start, I’ve been striking out lately, so maybe this is worth a shot! It looks fun.
