'Waiting on" Wednesday: Rise by Andrea Cremer

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly even hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we're super excited about. This week, my pick is:

Rise

Nightshade Prequel #2 

By Andrea Cremer

Expected Publication Date: January 8, 2013

Everything Conatus stands for is at risk. Hoping to gather enough resistance to save their order, Ember and Barrow attempt a desperate escape. But fate offers little mercy. When their mission is exposed, the couple face relentless pursuit by the supernatural horrors that act on the commands of Eira’s ally: the mysterious Bosque Mar. A shocking revelation forces Ember out of hiding, sending her back into the heart of dark magic at Tearmunn keep, where she must convince her old friend Alistair of her love or face dire consequences. Ember’s deception offers the only chance for the resistance to succeed, but what she discovers in the shadows beneath the keep will shatter her world and bring about the Witches’ War.

There simply aren't words to describe how excited I am about this book! I loved the Nightshade series and Rift was just as fantastic. I will be picking this up as soon as it's available on Tuesday! 

That's my 'Waiting on', what's yours?
