***The Starry-Eyed Revue***: clash of kingdoms

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's WoW selection is...

's Pick:

Title: Ever the Hunted
Author: Erin Summerill
Series: Clash of Kingdoms, book #1
Publisher: Harcourt Childrens Books
Publication Date: December 27, 2016

Seventeen year-old Britta Flannery is at ease only in the woods with her dagger and bow. She spends her days tracking criminals alongside her father, the legendary bounty hunter for the King of Malam—that is, until her father is murdered. Now outcast and alone and having no rights to her father’s land or inheritance, she seeks refuge where she feels most safe: the Ever Woods. When Britta is caught poaching by the royal guard, instead of facing the noose she is offered a deal: her freedom in exchange for her father’s killer.

However, it’s not so simple.

The alleged killer is none other than Cohen McKay, her father’s former apprentice. The only friend she’s ever known. The boy she once loved who broke her heart. She must go on a dangerous quest in a world of warring kingdoms, mad kings, and dark magic to find the real killer. But Britta wields more power than she knows. And soon she will learn what has always made her different will make her a daunting and dangerous force.

Though this novel has a simple yet stunning cover, that premise is anything but simple. And it's totally up my alley, since I love the friends-turned-bitter-enemies storyline...and vice versa. The promise of magic seals the deal, though. I MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!
