Waiting On Wednesday is a meme where you basically share an upcoming book that you’re excited to read. It’s hosted over at Breaking the Spine by Jill.
The book I’m waiting on today is…: Prophecy by Ellen Oh.
The greatest warrior in all of the Seven Kingdoms… is a girl with yellow eyes.
Kira’s the only female in the king’s army, and the prince’s bodyguard. She’s a demon slayer and an outcast, hated by nearly everyone in her home city of Hansong. And, she’s their only hope…
Murdered kings and discovered traitors point to a demon invasion, sending Kira on the run with the young prince. He may be the savior predicted in the Dragon King Prophecy, but the missing treasure of myth may be the true key. With only the guidance of the cryptic prophecy, Kira must battle demon soldiers, evil shaman, and the Demon Lord himself to find what was once lost and raise a prince into a king.
Intrigue and mystery, ancient lore and action-packed fantasy come together in this heart-stopping first book in a trilogy.
This book sounds a lot like Graceling which has to be one of my all time favorite books! This book also sounds like a book I would fall head over heels in love with. I love action, I love kick-butt protagonists, I love when characters are on the run, and I love when there’s lots of treachery in this book. So basically, this book sounds like something I would really, really love. How could I not be ridiculously excited for this one?! This debut sounds totally awesome, and I can not wait to get my hands on it!
This book will be released on January 2nd, 2013.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read Graceling yet, but the premise does sound quite similar! I totally agree with you, this one sounds like there is going to be a kick-butt protagonist! I'm really excited for this one too, and January 2013 is far too long. :( Awesome pick this week, Aneeqah! :)
