Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. This beautiful cover was just revealed, and the author is one I adore!
Our Lady of the Ice by Cassandra Rose Clarke. Releases fall 2015 from Saga Press. This cover is so evocative and lovely, and I’m so excited to have a new Clarke book to look forward to! I loved The Mad Scientist’s Daughter, and it looks like this one also has an android in it. Here’s the description from Cassandra Rose Clarke’s website:
Hope City, Antarctica. The southernmost city in the world, with only a glass dome and a faltering infrastructure to protect its citizens from the freezing, ceaseless winds of the Antarctic wilderness. Within this bell jar four people–some human, some not–will shape the future of the city forever:
Eliana Gomez, a female PI looking for a way to the mainland.
Diego Amitrano, the right-hand man to the gangster who controls the city’s food come winter.
Marianella Luna, an aristocrat with a dangerous secret.
Sofia, an android who has begun to evolve.
But the city is evolving too, and in the heart of the perilous Antarctic winter, faction will clash, dreams will shatter, and that frozen metropolis just might boil over…
I’m intrigued by the setting as well as the Spanish character names! This is going to the top of the pile for sure.
Have you read anything by Cassandra Rose Clarke? Let me know what you’re waiting on!
I love that cover! This is definitely one book that I can’t wait to get my hands on, I loved her YA novels but I have The Mad Scientist’s Daughter sitting here waiting to be read. Will move that up the pile I think to read before this one comes out!
I think you’ll love it! It was on my favorites list two years ago.
I haven’t read anything from this author yet but the synopsis is definitely intriguing. The concept reminds me of Under the Dome, but the characters are quite different! Thanks for featuring!
I was thinking Under the Dome as well…hmmm we shall see!
I also read The Mad Scientist’s Daughter (and thought it was excellent), but hadn’t heard she was coming out with another android-infused book. This will be on my TBR for sure!

I only just heard about this, glad you loved MSD as well!
Saga picked up some great authors. I have not read Clarke, but seeing the others that were picked up I can only guess she will be awesome.
I think you would really like her.
Oooh this sounds SO GOOD. I think everybody knows by this point that I can’t resist a lady private investigator. 😉 I didn’t realize that Cassandra Rose Clarke had been picked up by Saga Press, but I’m really glad to hear it. The closure of Strange Chem left a lot of really great authors in the lurch and I know many people were concerned that she’d be one of them. Maybe this will be the year that I finally read a book by her!
Oh I like how this sounds. And that cover! Fabulous! Great pick. Enjoy! MyWOW
This sounds so interesting! I’ll have to add it on Goodreads.
OMG I’ve wanted to feature this for a WoW but have been checking forever for the cover to show up! How do you always find these before anyone does?! I bow before you, you are the master 🙂
Hee hee, if it weren’t for Chuck Wendig’s blog yesterday I wouldn’t know about it either. But sure I’ll take the credit:-D
WOOOOAAAAHHHH, instant cover love! I have not read anything by this author, but thank you for putting this on my radar, Tammy! I hope you enjoy this book when you read it!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a fabulous week 🙂

Ohhhhh! I loved the author’s pirate duology from Strange Chemistry, but I still haven’t read her adult book. But this looks fantastic, and I didn’t know she had a new book coming out.
I love the idea of a book taking place on Antartica. This one sounds interesting. Good pick. Happy reading.
Huh, I’ve never heard of this one before but this reminds me of Under the Dome!
