Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week!
This book is described as “devastatingly Gothic,” and having recently read an amazingly atmospheric Gothic story (The Silent Companions), I am all over this:
A girl who can speak to gods must save her people without destroying herself.
A prince in danger must decide who to trust.
A boy with a monstrous secret waits in the wings.
Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war.
In a centuries-long war where beauty and brutality meet, their three paths entwine in a shadowy world of spilled blood and mysterious saints, where a forbidden romance threatens to tip the scales between dark and light. Wicked Saints is the thrilling start to Emily A. Duncan’s devastatingly Gothic Something Dark and Holy trilogy..
Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy #1) by Emily A. Duncan. Releases in April 2019 from Wednesday Books. I believe this cover was just revealed, and wow, it’s beautiful! This story sounds like just my thing, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy:-)
This one looks right up your street, Tammy – and that cover is exquisite… I hope you enjoy this offering and thank you for sharing:)
Thanks Sarah, yes, definitely up my street:-)
Oh my my my, Tammy you do find the best stuff! This is gorgeous!
Isn’t it? I want this artwork on my wall:-)
I do like the sound of “devastatingly Gothic.”
It’s a great description, right?
You probably had me at Gothic. Plus, I want to know the monstrous secret!
Me too, I love secrets:-)
I have an ARC… but I’ll wait until closer to release date. I’ve heard very good things. We’ll see where this hype-train leads!

Yes, how can you say no to “devastatingly”?
This one does sound great! I keep seeing the authors descriptions of the characters that sound so interesting, and there’s already a whole bunch of fan art!
