"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: |
The Falconer by Elizabeth May
Blurb:
Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844
18-year-old Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined to a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery kills her mother.
Now it’s the 1844 winter season. Between a seeming endless number of parties, Aileana slaughters faeries in secret. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, every night she sheds her aristocratic facade and goes hunting. She’s determined to track down the faery who murdered her mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city’s many dark alleyways.
But she never even considered that she might become attracted to one. To the magnetic Kiaran MacKay, the faery who trained her to kill his own kind. Nor is she at all prepared for the revelation he’s going to bring. Because Midwinter is approaching, and with it an eclipse that has the ability to unlock a Fae prison and begin the Wild Hunt.
A battle looms, and Aileana is going to have to decide how much she’s willing to lose – and just how far she’ll go to avenge her mother’s murder.
I am not sure how many of y'all heard of this one or posted it since I haven't done a WoW in a long, long time. But historical fiction and fairies sounds too delightful to pass up!
On a side note, there is news of Angelfall 2 (still no title) that it is going to be released this fall! So eeeeep.
That is all for today folks. What book are you waiting on? Let me know in the comments down below.
Sure hope tomorrow's better. :)

ReplyDeleteI don't usually read historical fiction too much, though there have been a few awesome ones, and the same for faerie books but this does have an interesting premise!
