"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
A conquered land. An unstoppable horde of
monsters released every seventy years. And one blacksmith’s apprentice
on the run, determined to find his sister before the world ends again.
An extraordinary novel about friendship, trust, power, and the monsters
all around us, from internationally bestselling author Stefan Bachmann.
One
thousand years ago, the Elduari conquered the country of Varen in a
brutal war. Now, every few generations they subject their one-time
enemies to a terrible tradition: bloodthirsty monsters are unleashed
across the land, attacking indiscriminately, keeping the population in a
perpetual dark age.
For Argo, fear of another Release is
something he has always lived with. When his friend is killed by a
monster during a routine patrol, Argo suspects that another Release is
coming, and sooner than everyone thinks. But in a country built on fear,
getting answers is dangerous. Elduari spies are hiding behind the most
familiar faces, and any hint of disobedience could lead to the death of
thousands.
As whispers of dissent circulate, rebellion grows in
the villages. Argo's beloved sister Simna leaves town without warning.
Masked figures stalk the alleys at night, offering dangerous gifts. When
tragedy strikes a second time, Argo and his new ally, Ana—a mysterious
monster hunter in disguise—set off on a dangerous journey to stop the
next Release. But what if it’s already too late?
Format: 288 pages, Hardcover

This book just looks way too awesome. And I must have it, haha :D The cover is so special and creepy. I love it. And I think the book sounds pretty great. I already own three books by Stefan that I haven't read yet. Oops. Only read the book that he wrote with several others, which I loved. Hope to read them all :)
What are you waiting for on this monstrous Wednesday?
