Waiting on Wednesday (35) A Shadow Bright & Burning


Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.






Henrietta Howel can burst into flames.

Forced to reveal her power to save a friend, she's shocked when
instead of being executed, she's invited to train as one of Her Majesty's royal sorcerers.

Thrust into the glamour of Victorian London, Henrietta is declared the chosen one, the girl who will defeat the Ancients, bloodthirsty demons terrorizing humanity. She also meets her fellow sorcerer trainees, handsome young men eager to test her power and her heart. One will challenge her. One will fight for her. One will betray her.

But Henrietta Howel is not the chosen one.
As she plays a dangerous game of deception, she discovers that the sorcerers have their own secrets to protect. With battle looming, what does it mean to not be the one? And how much will she risk to save the city--and the one she loves?

Exhilarating and gripping, Jessica Cluess's spellbinding fantasy introduces Henrietta Howel, a powerful, unforgettable heroine, and an entertaining world filled with magic, monsters, and mayhem.

Why I am Waiting?


A royal sorcerer, a school, magic. Sounds like my kinda book.

    Eeeep, I'm reading this one soon! I'm excited (though I hope the romance is not as messy as it could be). I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it, Angela!

    Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a great week. =)
