Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that we’re excited about with other bloggers and readers.
I’m so happy this cover was just revealed, because I’ve had it on my Goodreads TBR since last July! I’m a HUGE Jay Kristoff fan, and I’m so curious to see how he’s going to top himself, after the amazing Lotus War series (and I have no doubt that he will):
The first in an epic new fantasy series from the New York Times bestselling author.
In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.
Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined.
Now, a sixteen year old Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic — the Red Church. Treachery and trials await her with the Church’s halls, and to fail is to die. But if she survives to initiation, Mia will be inducted among the chosen of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the only thing she desires.
Revenge.
Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle #1) by Jay Kristoff releases in August 2016 from Thomas Dunne Books. First of all, I adore this cover! And there was never a question that I WOULDN’T read a book by Jay Kristoff. August seems so far away, right?
Let me know if you’re waiting on Nevernight as well!
I freaking love those covers!
Me too! I’m so intrigued by what the heck is going on with that girl:-)
Yes please! 🙂 I’m still hoping to get to Stormdancer this year, too.

Oh yes, read Stormdancer! Jay has a way of destroying your heart, but you know, in a good way:-)
I LOVE the cover, but I can’t help but wonder about the three-body problem in a land with three suns…
Ha ha, perhaps the story will explain his ideas behind that:-)
That cover was not what I expected! Though from the style I’m guessing it’s by Jason Chan (whose art I adore!) the same artist who did his Lotus War series. Definitely interested in checking out Jay Kristoff’s next book.

I have to honestly say this cover creeps me out.
I hear good things about Kristoff’s writing. I should really read something by him! I hope you enjoy this! My WOW

I have a “thing” for assassins’ guilds, they always make for a fascinating reading, and when there is a bit of vengeance thrown into the mix, I know I have to read the book!
Thanks for sharing!

Gah I still need to read the last installment of the Lotus War – I was so impressed with that series, as well as Illuminae – I know his next offering is going to be fantastic! (And stomp all over my feelings in the process, of course.)

Very mysterious and catchy synopsis, but that cover is creepy and is giving me a much different feel to this story. That is good though! I’ll be waiting on this one too 🙂
Wow, this sounds freaking incredible, and that cover is all kinds of creepy-beautiful! I’ll definitely be checking it out. I hope you enjoy it when you get to read it,
I love the cover. I need to read a Kristoff book. Thanks for sharing it!
That cover is awesome and the book sounds fantastic. Can’t wait!
This sounds so good – and that cover! Gorgeous! (and a bit creepy!)

I haven’t read Kristoff yet, but I want to! Will probably start with this one. Also, love that cover.
