"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
From New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis comes the first book in a breathtaking new romantic fantasy duology about a woman exiled by superstition who joins a dragon-hunting voyage only to be caught between a formidable longship captain, a prince destined for the throne, and an ancient power that could change her fate…or destroy a kingdom.
Branded as bad luck and bound to her barren island home by the superstition of skalds and sailors alike, Emelya has no future…until she risks her life to save a storm-tossed longship and boldly challenges formidable—and dangerously compelling—Captain Ragnar to let her prove her worth.
But what begins as a desperate gamble soon becomes the adventure of a lifetime, for the crew is hunting a legendary colossal dragon—a mythic beast said to bear the old gods' blessing. Only Prince Erik, the devastatingly handsome (and charming) son of an ailing king, believes the myths are true…just as he believes Emelya may be the key to helping him unlock their ancient power.
As the longship sails farther north, storms rage, monsters rise from icy depths, and the line between legend and death grows perilously thin…and Emelya finds herself caught between an ancient power meant for kings and the love of two men that could bring ruin to them all.
By the dragon's choosing, Queens will rise and Kingdoms will shatter.

Ohhh. I am nervous about this one. I adore Beth Revis. And a book about dragons sounds aaamazing. Well, one dragon, I think. And it looks gorgeous. Then I got the stunning patreon swag from Beth. <3 And read that one part that said love triangle. And ahhh. I had not really read the summary before now, where it is very much mentioned too. Gosh. I am not looking forward to that part at all. But I will give it a try. <3
What are you waiting for on this monstrous Wednesday?
