Title: Falling Kingdoms
Author: Morgan Rhodes
Publication Date: December 11, 2012 by Razorbill
Description: In a land where magic
has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest
is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power--brutally transforming
their subjects' lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and
battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined:
Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and
treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long
thought extinct. Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out
against the forces of oppression that have kept his country
impoverished--and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution
centuries in the making. Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a
royal family discovers the truth about her past--and the supernatural
legacy she is destined to wield. Magnus: Bred for aggression and
trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart
can be more lethal than the sword... The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?
I desperately want to read this. It sounds right up my alley!
Great pick. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks interesting, I'm worried about the 4 main characters, I'm not a huge fan of alternating perspective unless it is done really well. Great pick!
