Waiting on Wednesday is a meme that was hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon. It has gone the way of the wind and is no longer hosted there. But Wishful Endings is now hosting Can’t Wait Wednesday so we can keep the momentum going and link up there.
To be honest, I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the title, feels a bit long and awkward, but I do love the cover and description, so I am excited to give this one a try.

Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.
Across the dark sea, Tané has trained all her life to be a dragonrider, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel.
Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.
This cover is AMAZING. I’m not a huge fan of her first series, and the page count might scare me off, but I’m intrigued?

it’s a really intriguing cover
I have feeling I’ll like this one more than her Bone Season series 😀
