Waiting on Wednesday #2

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.

This is a perfect way to highlight books that we are waiting patiently to be released... it is also a sure-fire way to watch your TBR pile grow!

In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power--brutally transforming their subjects' lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined:

Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.

Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished--and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making.

Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past--and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.

Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword...

The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall.  Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?

Why am I so eagerly awaiting this release you ask?

First let me start off by saying... WOW what a cover!  As soon as I saw it I knew I had to read it.  I admit that I am a cover whore (this is how my friends affectionately refer to me) so I was not shocked at how much I was drawn to it for that reason alone.

Then I read the synopsis and got even more excited.  It just all sounds so intriguing... forgotten magic, a princess, a rebel, a supernatural legacy, a warrior.  What is there not to get excited about?  I can not wait to read this!
