Book Synopsis
“I raise my chin as the buyers stare. Yes. Look. You don’t want me. Because, eventually, accidentally, I will destroy you.”
In a world at war, a slave girl’s lethal curse could become one kingdom’s weapon of salvation. If the curse—and the girl—can be controlled.
As a slave in the war-weary kingdom of Faelen, seventeen-year-old Nym isn’t merely devoid of rights, her Elemental kind are only born male and always killed at birth—meaning, she shouldn’t even exist.
In a world at war, a slave girl’s lethal curse could become one kingdom’s weapon of salvation. If the curse—and the girl—can be controlled.
As a slave in the war-weary kingdom of Faelen, seventeen-year-old Nym isn’t merely devoid of rights, her Elemental kind are only born male and always killed at birth—meaning, she shouldn’t even exist.
Standing
on the auction block beneath smoke-drenched mountains, Nym faces her
fifteenth sell. But when her hood is removed and her storm-summoning
killing curse revealed, Nym is snatched up by a court advisor and given a
choice: be trained as the weapon Faelen needs to win the war, or be
killed.
Choosing the former, Nym is unleashed into a world of politics, bizarre parties, and rumors of an evil more sinister than she’s being prepared to fight . . . not to mention the handsome trainer whose dark secrets lie behind a mysterious ability to calm every lightning strike she summons.
But what if she doesn’t want to be the weapon they’ve all been waiting for?
Set in a beautifully eclectic world of suspicion, super abilities, and monsters, Storm Siren is a story of power. And whoever controls that power will win.
Why I'm waiting on this book!
Aside from the gorgeous cover,
the plot is amazingly exciting, not to
mention complex!
Of course, I love to read about
strong heroines, and Nym is certainly
one of them!
I also think that the world invented
by the author is fascinating!
Last but not least....there's some
romance, as well!
What else would I need, to want
to get a book as soon as it's released?
What do you think of my choice?
What fascinating book(s)
