Waiting on Wednesday
A weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that people are eagerly anticipating.
My choice for Waiting on Wednesday this week is:
Eros is a rebel soldier hated by aliens and human alike for being a half-blood. Yet that doesn’t stop him from defending his people, at least until Kora’s soldiers raze his camp and take him captive. He’s given an ultimatum: be an enslaved bodyguard to Kora, or be executed for his true identity—a secret kept even from him.
When Kora and Eros are framed for the attempted assassination of her betrothed, they flee. Their only chance of survival is to turn themselves in to the high court, where revealing Eros’s secret could mean a swift public execution. But when they uncover a violent plot to end the human insurgency, they must find a way to work together to prevent genocide.
Beyond the Red by Ava Jae
Publication: March 1st 2016 by Sky Pony Press, 304 pages
Alien queen Kora has a problem as vast as the
endless crimson deserts. She’s the first female ruler of her territory in
generations, but her people are rioting and call for her violent younger twin
brother to take the throne. Despite assassination attempts, a mounting uprising
of nomadic human rebels, and pressure to find a mate to help her rule, she’s
determined to protect her people from her brother’s would-be tyrannical rule.
