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!

Again! An exciting cover reveal that I’ve been waiting for just appeared on Goodreads and I’m over the moon excited to share it with you, if you haven’t already seen it:

“A gripping tale of a woman who refuses to be defined by her physical and magical limitations, thwarting both assassins and all who see her as a pawn. A great read!” — Brandon Sanderson, on Curtis Craddock’s An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors A Labyrinth of Scions and Sorcery is the masterful sequel to Curtis Craddock’s critically-acclaimed high fantasy An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors, which continues the engrossing tale of courtly intrigue and breathtaking magic, and starring our fiercely intelligent heroine Isabelle des Zephyrs with her loyal musketeer Jean-Claude. Isabelle des Zephyrs has always been underestimated throughout her life, but after discovering the well of hidden magic within her, unveiling a centuries-long conspiracy, and stopping a war between rival nations, she has gained a newfound respect amongst the cutthroat court. All that is quickly taken away when Isabelle is unfairly convicted of breaking the treaty she helped write and has her political rank and status taken away. Now bereft, she nevertheless finds herself drawn into mystery when her faithful musketeer Jean-Claude uncovers a series of gruesome murders by someone calling themselves the Harvest King. As panic swells, the capital descends into chaos, when the emperor is usurped from the throne by a rival noble. Betrayed by their allies and hunted by assassins, Isabelle and Jean-Claude alone must thwart the coup, but not before it changes l’Empire forever.

A Labyrinth of Scions and Sorcery (The Risen Kingdoms #2) by Curtis Craddock. Releases in January 2019 from Tor Books. An Alchemy of Masks and Mirrors was a happy surprise last year, and I couldn’t be more excited to read this follow up. I have a feeling next year is going to be the Year of the Sequel for me, since I’m already looking forward to so many of them. I know I sound like a broken record lately, but if you haven’t started this series you have about five months to catch up! On a design note, it looks like the cover style is changing for book two, which isn’t something I usually go for, but I do like the subtle change for the paperback release of Alchemy, which will go nicely with the new book:

Let me know what you’re waiting on this week:-D
