Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where we highlight upcoming releases we're excited for.
This week I'm waiting on…
Snow Like Ashes
By Sara Raasch
Publisher: Balzer & Bray
Release Date: October 14, 2014
A heartbroken girl. A fierce
warrior. A hero in the making.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of
Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a
monarch. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who
managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back
Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Orphaned as an infant during
Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the
Winterians’ general, Sir. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with
her best friend, and future king, Mather — she would do anything to help her
kingdom rise to power again.
So when scouts
discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic,
Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting
enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s always dreamed she would.
But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into
a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize
that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.
This fantasy looks right in my wheelhouse. I love the cover design.

This sounds very good! I'll have to add it to my list of books for the future.
