"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
Darkness lurks in the shadows as a betrothed
princess wrestles with a dangerous new magic that threatens her bond
with her beloved horse—and a forbidden love for the enemy sworn to
protect her.
Zara has never felt worthy of her title as First
Daughter. Though next in line to lead her people, she hasn’t inherited
what matters most—her mother’s sacred earth magic. While her people are
tied to the land and their soul-bound horses, Zara has always felt a
pull toward the wind.
As war rages against the empire’s deadly
Eagle Riders, her people edge closer to defeat. When a rider attacks
Zara herself, she unleashes a wind magic strong enough to tear giant
eagles from the sky. This power could turn the tide of war—but at a
terrible cost: the slow unraveling of her psychic bond with her horse.
When
a marriage treaty is offered in exchange for peace, Zara agrees,
sacrificing herself to protect her people. But the emperor’s palace is
more treacherous than any battlefield. Hidden behind its gilded walls is
a monstrous being long buried—and her power-hungry betrothed is
determined to set it free.
Sworn to protect the future empress,
Commander Talon soon realizes Zara is more than a political pawn—she’s
the key to stopping the emperor’s dark ambitions. As their forbidden
desire grows, they must face an ancient evil stirring beneath the
throne. Even if it costs them everything.
