"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Odessa is one of Karthia's master necromancers, catering to the kingdom's ruling Dead. Whenever a noble dies, it's Odessa's job to raise them by retrieving their souls from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands. But there is a cost to being raised--the Dead must remain shrouded, or risk transforming into zombie-like monsters known as Shades. If even a hint of flesh is exposed, the grotesque transformation will begin.
A dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears among Odessa's necromancer community. Soon a crushing loss of one of their own reveals a disturbing conspiracy: someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead--and training them to attack. Odessa is faced with a terrifying question: What if her necromancer's magic is the weapon that brings Karthia to its knees?
This week, I'm super excited for Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh! High fantasy is my happy place, and this looks like a good one! I've actually already preordered the book! Fun fact, if you preorder it, you can register your receipt to get some cool swag. I'm also excited for some more LGBTQ+ high fantasy.
