Morning Swooners :-)
This week my "can't-wait-to-read" pre-publication selections are:
Expected release date: April 28, 2015
Purchase: Amazon / Barnes and Noble
Summary from Goodreads:
This actually sounds like a really great read. I'm interested to see what the Martial Emperor is and what this nation is about.
What are you anxiously waiting for?
Set in a terrifying brutal Rome-like world, an Ember in the
Ashes is an epic fantasy debut about an orphan fighting for her family and a
soldier fighting for his freedom. It’s a story that’s literally burning to be
told.
LAIA is a Scholar living under the iron-fisted rule of the
Martial Empire. When her brother is arrested for treason, Laia goes undercover
as a slave at the empire’s greatest military academy in exchange for assistance
from rebel Scholars who claim that they will help to save her brother from
execution.
ELIAS is the academy’s finest soldier—and secretly, its most
unwilling. Elias is considering deserting the military, but before he can, he’s
ordered to participate in a ruthless contest to choose the next Martial
emperor.
When Laia and Elias’s paths cross at the academy, they find
that their destinies are more intertwined that either could have imagined and
that their choices will change the future of the empire itself.
Vow your blood and body to the empire.
Keep your heart for yourself.
