Waiting on Wednesday. Shadow Rise

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week on WoW is Shadow Rise by Audrey Grey. Once again (it seems like a tradition now) I still haven't read the first book, Shadow Fall, even though I've it. 🙈 Anyway, although I've heard some blurb about a love triangle (which I can't stand since most times the main character's feeble heart annoys me to no end), I'm still excited for this series. I always enjoy a good dystopia and I've read wonderful things about this one. Hopefully, my expectations aren't too high. The book will be released on November 14th.

"Terrorist. Rebel. Traitor.

One rash decision during the Shadow Trials led to unspeakable horrors that left innocents dead, friends injured and hunted by the Empire, and Maia Graystone imprisoned in the Tower at the Archduchess’s mercy.

Unsure if Riser Thornbrook survived, Maia must find a way to battle the Empire from within its own walls and escape so she can fulfill the promise to her father and stop the asteroid. But when she breaks free and joins Nicolai's Rebel army, she discovers she’s been branded a traitor. With war between the Rebels and the Empire looming, old alliances shifting, and suspicion hanging over her head, she must fight in the Rebel Blood Courts—and win command—to regain their trust.

Only problem is, first she has defeat the reigning champion, someone she knows all too well. Will Maia’s emotions lead to her defeat, or will she rise up and claim her victory"
