Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where I highlight an upcoming release I'm excited about.
This week I'm waiting on…
The Jewel (The Lone City #1)
By Amy Ewing
Published by HarperTeen
Release Date: September 2, 2014
The Jewel means wealth. The Jewel
means beauty. The Jewel means royalty. But for girls like Violet, the Jewel
means servitude. Not just any kind of servitude. Violet, born and raised in the
Marsh, has been trained as a surrogate for the royalty—because in the Jewel the
only thing more important than opulence is offspring.
Purchased at the surrogacy auction
by the Duchess of the Lake and greeted with a slap to the face, Violet (now
known only as #197) quickly learns of the brutal truths that lie beneath the
Jewel’s glittering facade: the cruelty, backstabbing, and hidden violence that
have become the royal way of life.
Violet
must accept the ugly realities of her existence... and try to stay alive. But
then a forbidden romance erupts between Violet and a handsome gentleman hired
as a companion to the Duchess’s petulant niece. Though his presence makes life
in the Jewel a bit brighter, the consequences of their illicit relationship
will cost them both more than they bargained for.
This could be really excellent and interesting, though I've been fooled by pretty covers before. Sounds like an awesome romance with a dystopian setting.
