Hey
everyone and welcome back to my blog! This week I will be
participating in Waiting on Wednesday. WoW is a weekly meme hosted by
Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Every week we showcase upcoming releases that
we are excited about. Tressa @ Wishful Endings has recently taken lead in this meme, considering Jill hasn't been posting on for a while. Learn more here!
This week I chose Roar by Cora Carmack!
In a land ruled and shaped by violent magical storms, power lies with those who control them.
Aurora
Pavan comes from one of the oldest Stormling families in existence.
Long ago, the ungifted pledged fealty and service to her family in
exchange for safe haven, and a kingdom was carved out from the wildlands
and sustained by magic capable of repelling the world’s deadliest foes.
As the sole heir of Pavan, Aurora’s been groomed to be the perfect
queen. She’s intelligent and brave and honorable. But she’s yet to show
any trace of the magic she’ll need to protect her people.
To keep
her secret and save her crown, Aurora’s mother arranges for her to
marry a dark and brooding Stormling prince from another kingdom. At
first, the prince seems like the perfect solution to all her problems.
He’ll guarantee her spot as the next queen and be the champion her
people need to remain safe. But the more secrets Aurora uncovers about
him, the more a future with him frightens her. When she dons a disguise
and sneaks out of the palace one night to spy on him, she stumbles upon a
black market dealing in the very thing she lacks—storm magic. And the
people selling it? They’re not Stormlings. They’re storm hunters.
Legend
says that her ancestors first gained their magic by facing a storm and
stealing part of its essence. And when a handsome young storm hunter
reveals he was born without magic, but possesses it now, Aurora realizes
there’s a third option for her future besides ruin or marriage.
She might not have magic now, but she can steal it if she’s brave enough.
Challenge a tempest. Survive it. And you become its master.
