Waiting on Wednesday #76

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

THE BURNING SKY BY SHERRY THOMAS

Goodreads Description:

It all began with a ruined elixir and an accidental bolt of lightning…

Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's being told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of The Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the greatest mage tyrant the world has ever known. A suicide task for anyone let alone a sixteen-year-old girl with no training, facing a prophecy that foretells a fiery clash to the death.

Prince Titus of Elberon has sworn to protect Iolanthe at all costs but he's also a powerful mage committed to obliterating the Bane to revenge the death of his family—even if he must sacrifice both Iolanthe and himself to achieve his goal.

But Titus makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the Bane closing in, he must choose between his mission and her life.

I'm a sucker for gorgeous covers. And this one. This one is perfect. I love it so much. Just really hoping the book will be perfect too :) But I do think the summary is pretty interesting, so I'm hoping I'll love it :D And I'm hoping the romance will be good too. <3 The plot does sound pretty awesome :) September will be an amazing book month. So many great books coming out then! Sequels and new ones ;p
