"Waiting On" Wednesday is a
weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming
releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, my most anticipated release is:
The Keeper of the Mist by Rachel Neumeier
Anticipated Book Release: March 8th, 2016
A lush new fantasy about finding the will to lead against all odds, perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone.
Keri has been struggling to run her family bakery since her mother passed away. Now the father she barely knew—the Lord of Nimmira—has died, and ancient magic has decreed that she will take his place as the new Lady. The position has never been so dangerous: the mists that hide Nimmira from its vicious, land-hungry neighbors have failed, and Keri’s people are visible to strangers for the first time since the mists were put in place generations ago. At the same time, three half-brothers will their own eyes on the crown make life within the House just as dangerous as the world outside.
But Keri has three people to guide her: her mysterious Timekeeper, clever Bookkeeper, and steadfast Doorkeeper. Together they must find a way to repair the boundary before her neighbors realize just how vulnerable Nimmira is.
With a spunky main character, lyrical storytelling, and hidden romance, The Keeper of the Mist is an engrossing story that is full of adventure.
It's so hard for me to decide if I want to read fantasy books or not. But then when I do pick them up to try, I usually fall in love with them. This is one of those that the description leaves me on the fence, but who knows, I may pick it up and love it too. And wow, the cover is so great!
