Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, where we can rant and gush about what upcoming releases we are impatiently waiting for.

My pick for this week is:

Chantress
by: Amy Butler Greenfield

To be published: May 28th, 2013

Lucy’s Chantress magic will make her the most powerful—and most hunted—girl in England.
“Sing, and the darkness will find you.” This warning has haunted fifteen-year-old Lucy ever since she was eight and shipwrecked on a lonely island. Lucy’s guardian, Norrie, has lots of rules, but the most important is that Lucy must never sing. Not ever. Now it is 1667, Lucy is fifteen, and on All Hallows’ Eve, Lucy hears a tantalizing melody on the wind. She can’t help but sing—and she is swept into darkness.
When she awakes in England, Lucy hears powerful men discussing Chantresses—women who can sing magic into the world. They are hunting her, but she escapes and finds sanctuary with the Invisible College, an organization plotting to overthrow the nefarious Lord Protector. The only person powerful enough to bring about his downfall is a Chantress. And Lucy is the last one in England.
Lucy struggles to master the song-spells and harness her power, but the Lord Protector is moving quickly. And her feelings for Nat, an Invisible College apprentice and scientist who deeply distrusts her magic, only add to her confusion…
Time is running out, and the fate of England hangs in the balance in this entrancing novel that is atmospheric and lyrical, dangerous and romantic.

 

I’m not usually a avid lover of historical fiction but, ohh sweet baby Jesus this sounds amazing! I read the blurb about 3 times before it’s true potential amazingness (which is now a word) sunk in. Then I pretty much dropped my macbook thanks to that covergasm I had upon unblinkingly staring at the cover. 

 

I want to sit outside your window while your on display and just watch you….for hours 

 

So yes. To answer your questions, I am excited, I am not ashamed, I don’t care if you judge me, and I’m willing to give up internal organs for a time machine that will take me to May 28th, 2013.

 

What are you impatiently waiting for?
