~Waiting on Wednesday~ Wintersong

                “Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.  Basically books that are not yet out that we are dying to get our hands on.  This week’s pick is:


Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones
Out: 2/7

From Goodreads:
                Beware the goblin men and the wares they sell.

                All her life, nineteen-year-old Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, mysterious Goblin King.  He is the Lord of Mischief, the Ruler Underground, and the muse around which her music is composed.  Yet, as Liesl helps shoulder the burden of running her family's inn, her dreams of composition and childish fancies about the Goblin King must be set aside in favor of more practical concerns.

                But when her sister Kathe is taken by the goblins, Liesl journeys to their realm to rescue her sister and return her to the world above.  The Goblin King agrees to let Kathe go—for a price.  The life of a maiden must be given to the land, in accordance with the old laws.  A life for a life, he says.  Without sacrifice, nothing good can grow.  Without death, there can be no rebirth.  In exchange for her sister's freedom, Liesl offers her hand in marriage to the Goblin King.  He accepts.

                Down in the Underground, Liesl discovers that the Goblin King still inspires her—musically, physically, emotionally.  Yet even as her talent blossoms, Liesl's life is slowly fading away, the price she paid for becoming the Goblin King's bride.  As the two of them grow closer, they must learn just what it is they are each willing to sacrifice:  her life, her music, or the end of the world.

Why I’m Waiting:
                 This was on my anticipated 2017 debut books.  I love the cover and the story remind me a bit of Beauty & the Beast and Hades & Persephone which are both tales I really love.  So this had be drawn in.  I can't wait to get my hands on it. 


                What are you waiting on?  Tell me below what you think of this title and leave a link to your WoW as well so I can check it out.
