This week I can’t wait for:
The Bright and the Pale by Jessica Rubinkowski
Expected publication: 2 March 2021
Publisher: Quill Tree Books
From Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Valeria is one of the only survivors of the freeze, a dark magical hold Knnot Mountain unleashed over her village. Everyone, including her family, is trapped in an unbreakable sheet of ice. Ever since, she’s been on the run from the Czar, who is determined to imprison any who managed to escape. Valeria finds refuge with the Thieves Guild, doing odd jobs with her best friend Alik, the only piece of home she has left.
That is, until he is brutally murdered.
A year later, she discovers Alik is alive and being held against his will. To buy his freedom, she must lead a group of cutthroats and thieves on a perilous expedition to the very mountain that claimed her family. Only something sinister slumbers in the heart of Knnot.
And it has waited years for release.
Why I Can’t Wait for this book:
A book very loosely inspired by Russian mythology, I’m there! This sounds so amazing, with a supposedly dead bestie who then needs to be rescued? Count me in!
