Waiting on Wednesday (22): Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine to highlight upcoming eagerly anticipated book releases

Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1) by Morgan Rhodes & Michelle Rowan
Expected Publication Date: December 11, 2012
Publisher: Razorbill
Book Description from Goodreads: 
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?


There's been some really great fantasy books lately, and I like the sound of all these fates twisting together! Plus the cover always reminds me of Assassin's Creed (the video game).
