“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. However, as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.
Today’s selection and book I’m excitedly awaiting is:
Throne of the Fallen
by Kerri Maniscalco
Adult Fiction – Fantasy – Romance
October 3rd, 2023
Goodreads
The adult debut of #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within her fan-favorite Kingdom of the Wicked world, perfect for readers of fantasy, romance, and mystery alike.
Sinner. Villain. Ruthless.
These are wicked names the Prince of Envy welcomes. They remind him what he isn’t: a saint. And when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows he’ll be called much worse before it ends. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way. With a powerful artifact and his own future at stake, Envy is determined to win, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin—and passion—like no other…
Talented. Darling. Liar.
The trouble with scoundrels and blackguards is that they haven’t a modicum of honor, a fact Miss Camilla Antonius learns after one desperate mistake allows notorious rake—and satire sheet legend—Lord Phillip Vexley to blackmail her. And now it seems Vexley isn’t the only scoundrel interested in securing her unique talents as a painter. To avoid Vexley’s clutches and a ruinous scandal, Camilla is forced to enter a devil’s bargain with Waverly Green’s newest arrival, enigmatic Lord Ashford ‘Syn’ Synton, little expecting his game will awaken her true nature . . .
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the Shifting Isles—from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm, and encounters with exiled Fae—while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.
Have I finished (or even started) the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy? Umm, no.
BUT I’m still super excited for this adult standalone novel set in this world. It sounds amazing in every way! (And I still have time to read the other books by October 3rd, I’m sure…)
Tell Me:
Will you be reading this book?
I actually haven’t read this author before, but I love this cover!
She does have a lot of beautiful covers 🙂
It’s interesting that the author is releasing an adult book in her YA world. Did I understand that right?
Yes, indeed! She first wrote a YA trilogy and is now releasing an adult book set in the same world, so I’m definitely curious how she’ll do that.
I haven’t started the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy either but I agree that this sounds so amazing, especially since it’s her adut debut!
Indeed, it sounds so good already and we still have time to read the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy so that’s all fine 😀
I read Kingdom of the Wicked, but still need to read the rest of the trilogy. But yeah, there’s plenty of time before this book releases to get all caught up on the series.
So true and a good binge can also be so much fun!
Now you’re just making me want to do a weekend binge readathon. Get a bunch of drinks and snacks and just lounge around the house with some music on in the background and read the whole trilogy in one fell swoop.
That does sound amazing!
Hmm…honestly, if I planned it for the fall, considering that’s when Throne of the Fallen is released, I could just go ahead and add it to the reading weekend too.
Yeah, this sounds like a fun idea. I might actually have to do this now.
I’m really excited for this one too. I need to get caught up on the Kingdom of the Wicked series too. Forever behind, haha.
Haha, I hear you!
