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!

Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven (September 24, 2019 by Ace Books)
Grace Draven has become one of my favorite authors now that I know I can count on her for the perfect balance of fantasy and romance. Dragon Unleashed will be the second book set in her Fallen Empire universe and the standalone follow-up to Phoenix Unbound!
“A dragon shapeshifter and a healer with power over the earth fight a corrupt empire in this thrilling and deeply emotional romantic fantasy from the USA Today bestselling author of Radiance.
Magic is outlawed in the Krael Empire and punishable by death. Born with the gift of earth magic, the free trader Halani keeps her dangerous secret closely guarded. When her uncle buys a mysterious artifact, a piece of bone belonging to a long-dead draga, Halani knows it’s far more than what it seems.
Dragas haven’t been seen for more than a century, and most believe them extinct. They’re wrong. Dragas still walk among the denizens of the Empire, disguised as humans. Malachus is a draga living on borrowed time. The magic that has protected him will soon turn on him–unless he finds a key part of his heritage. He has tracked it to a group of free traders, among them a grave-robbing earth witch who fascinates him as much as she frustrates him with her many secrets.
Unbeknownst to both, the Empire’s twisted empress searches for a draga of her own, to capture and kill as a trophy. As Malachus the hunter becomes the hunted, Halani must risk herself and all she loves to save him from the Empire’s machinations and his own lethal birthright.”

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I didn’t know this one was already on GR and I just added this one on my shelf! Yet I hope we’ll get to see the heroes of Phoenix Unbound in there too as the ending left me wanting!

The cover somehow reminds me of the covers for the Blackthorn & Grim series from Juliet Marillier, which looks like a very good omen for what I might find in this series… 😉
