Waiting on Wednesday 12/26/18
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Turning Darkness into Light by Marie Brennan (August 20th, 2019 by Tor Books)
I’m a huge fan of the Memoirs of Lady Trent series, and I couldn’t be more excited when I found out about this book. Isabella’s saga may be over, but her legacy will be carried on by her granddaughter!
“As the renowned granddaughter of Isabella Camherst (Lady Trent, of the riveting and daring Draconic adventure memoirs) Audrey Camherst has always known she, too, would want to make her scholarly mark upon a chosen field of study.
When Lord Gleinheigh recruits Audrey to decipher a series of ancient tablets holding the secrets of the ancient Draconean civilization, she has no idea that her research will plunge her into an intricate conspiracy, one meant to incite rebellion and invoke war. Alongside dearest childhood friend and fellow archeologist Kudshayn, must find proof of the conspiracy before it’s too late.
TURNING DARKNESS INTO LIGHT is a delightful fantasy of manners, the heir to the award-winning Natural History of Dragons series, a perfect stepping stone into an alternate Victorian-esque fantasy landscape.”
Nice! That pic kinda reminds me of Daenerys’ dragons hatching 🙂

Curious if this is standalone or requires the previous books.

I don’t think it requires the previous books. I might be wrong, of course, but something tells me she intends this to be starting point for new readers 😀
