Waiting on Wednesday #347

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

LAST OF HER NAME BY JESSICA KHOURY

Goodreads Description:

Sixteen years ago, rebellion swept the galaxy known as the Belt of Jewels. Every member of the royal family was murdered--down to their youngest child, Princess Anya--and the Union government rose in its place. But Stacia doesn't think much about politics. She spends her days half-wild, rambling her father's vineyard with her closest friends, Clio and Pol.

That all changes the day a Union ship appears in town, carrying the leader of the Belt himself, the Direktor Eminent. The Direktor claims that Princess Anya is alive, and that Stacia's sleepy village is a den of empire loyalists, intent on hiding her. When Stacia is identified as the lost princess, her provincial home explodes into a nightmare.

Pol smuggles her away to a hidden escape ship in the chaos, leaving Clio in the hands of the Union. With everything she knows threading away into stars, Stacia sets her heart on a single mission. She will find and rescue Clio, even with the whole galaxy on her trail.

Yeah, this one is going to be awesome. Eee. There seem to be a bunch of Anastasia YA retellings right now, and I am loving it so much. I also very much adore Jessica and her books. Eee. I think Last of Her Name sounds SO GOOD :D And I cannot wait to read this precious thing. Sigh. Also, so gorgeous. Eee.
What are you waiting for on this royal Wednesday?
