Waiting on Wednesday: The Bound

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine.

Each week bloggers participate to share a book they can't wait to get their hands on.

This week I'm waiting on:

The Bound (Ascension #2) by K.A. Linde

Expected Publication: October 25, 2016

Preorder Buy Link: Amazon

Cyrene Strohm is a Queen’s Affiliate, a high-ranking official of the court of Byern, with power and privilege to spare. But she’s also a keeper of dangerous secrets: like the fact that she holds the heart of the King, and that she possesses magic in a world where magic no longer exists.

Determined to discover what this means and how to use her newfound abilities, Cyrene sets off for the distant land of Eleysia. An island nation where Affiliates are strictly forbidden from entering.

But the journey is perilous, and the destination may mean utter ruin, as Cyrene comes to learn that everything she’s been told her whole life – about her court, her homeland, and even herself—are bound in a beautiful lie.

Isn't this cover beautiful?! That's what drew me in with book one as well. Though I wasn't blown away with book 1, The Affiliate, I do want to see what happens next and am hoping to find the more I am looking for with this series.
What are you waiting on this week?
