"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I am excited for Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria. It was the cover that initially drew me in to this book. It kinda reminds me of something from the chamber of secrets. I then read the the description, and I was hooked! I am a sucker for rebellion stories, and the cast of characters that are doing the rebellion is incredibly compelling. There are also on-page bi and ace characters, which is exciting. I just got the ARC and I definitely can't wait to dive in!
Synopsis:
In the city of Eldra, people are ruled by ancient prophecies. For centuries, the high council has stayed in power by virtue of the prophecies of the elder seers. After the last infallible prophecy came to pass, growing unrest led to murders and an eventual rebellion that raged for more than a decade.
In the present day, Cassa, the orphaned daughter of rebels, is determined to fight back against the high council, which governs Eldra from behind the walls of the citadel. Her only allies are no-nonsense Alys, easygoing Evander, and perpetually underestimated Newt, and Cassa struggles to come to terms with the legacy of rebellion her dead parents have left her — and the fear that she may be inadequate to shoulder the burden. But by the time Cassa and her friends uncover the mystery of the final infallible prophecy, it may be too late to save the city — or themselves.
