This weeks Waiting on Wednesday....


Princess and heir to the throne of Thorvaldor, Nalia's led a privileged life at court. But everything changes when it's revealed, just after her sixteenth birthday, that she is a false princess, a stand-in for the real Nalia, who has been hidden away for her protection. Cast out with little more than the clothes on her back, the girl now called Sinda must leave behind the city of Vivaskari, her best friend, Keirnan, and the only life she's ever known.

Sinda is sent to live with her only surviving relative, an aunt who is a dyer in a distant village. She is a cold, scornful woman with little patience for her newfound niece, and Sinda proves inept at even the simplest tasks. But when Sinda discovers that magic runs through her veins - long-suppressed, dangerous magic that she must learn to control - she realizes that she can never learn to be a simple village girl.

Returning to Vivaskari for answers, Sinda finds her purpose as a wizard scribe, rediscovers the boy who saw her all along, and uncovers a secret that could change the course of Thorvaldor's history, forever.


Fake royalty, romance, and secrets? WHAT'S BETTER?
All seriousness, I love books with princesses, castles, and all that jazz.
And the cover is pretty beautiful :)

What are you waiting for ?

  1. I've been waiting for this book for what seems like forever! I think it was supposed to have a 2010 release, but then was pushed back to 2011. Arrgh!

    You can see what I'm waiting for on my blog.
