Waiting on Wednesday: Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights exciting upcoming releases that we can't wait to be released!

I remember when my sister and I read Tamora Pierce books years and years ago and absolutely loved them. We devoured her books and I still view her as one of my earliest fantasy introductions and loves. I cannot wait to read something new from Tamora Pierce!

This week's upcoming book spotlight is:
Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce
Publication Date: February 6th, 2018
Random House Books for Young Readers
Pre-order: Book Depository | Amazon

From Goodreads:

Note: **"Act fast! The first printing of the hardcover includes a collector’s edition poster!"**


"Kyra is the youngest Markswoman in the Order of Kali, a highly trained sisterhood of elite warriors armed with telepathic blades. Guided by a strict code of conduct, Kyra and the other Orders are sworn to protect the people of Asiana. But to be a Markswoman, an acolyte must repudiate her former life completely. Kyra has pledged to do so, yet she secretly harbors a fierce desire to avenge her dead family.

When Kyra’s beloved mentor dies in mysterious circumstances, and Tamsyn, the powerful, dangerous Mistress of Mental Arts, assumes control of the Order, Kyra is forced on the run. Using one of the strange Transport Hubs that are remnants of Asiana’s long-lost past, she finds herself in the unforgiving wilderness of desert that is home to the Order of Khur, the only Order composed of men. Among them is Rustan, a young, disillusioned Marksman whom she soon befriends.

Kyra is certain that Tamsyn committed murder in a twisted bid for power, but she has no proof. And if she fails to find it, fails in her quest to keep her beloved Order from following Tamsyn down a dark path, it could spell the beginning of the end for Kyra--and for Asiana.

But what she doesn’t realize is that the line between justice and vengeance is razor thin . . . thin as the blade of a knife."
