Falling Kingdoms
by Morgan Rhodes
Release Date: Decemeber 11, 2012
Goodreads Synopsis:
In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power--brutally transforming their subjects' lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined:
Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.
Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished--and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making.
Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past--and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.
Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword...
The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?
Why I'm waiting on Wednesday:
First off, that cover is about as legit as it gets. Seriously, who is the person on the cover?!?!
Secondly, the synopsis sounds awesome. Forbidden magic? Unrest? Betrayals, bargains and battles?!?!?!?!?! YES! Me want!!!
Ugh....why oh why does December have to be so far away?! I'm really hoping Netgalley will grant my wishes and put up a galley XD
*fingers crossed*
So what are y'all waiting on this fine Wednesday? Let me know in the comments below!
All the best ♥
