Waiting on Wednesday #31

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine where we share with everyone upcoming new releases that we're eager to get our hands on! :)

Empire of Shadows (Bhinian Empire #2)

by Miriam Forster

Expected Publication: November 4th 2014

by HarperTeen

Cast out of her family three years ago, Mara turned to the only place that would take her—a school where students train to protect others. But Mara is stunned when guarding a noble girl in the Empire’s capital turns out to be more dangerous than she could’ve imagined. More shocking still, she finds the boy she thought she had lost forever outside the gates of her new home.

Mara knew her life in the dizzying Imperial city would hold dangers. How could she have known that her heart, as well as her life, would be at stake?

Empire of Shadows will take readers on a spellbinding journey into the world Miriam Forster first introduced in City of a Thousand Dolls—a world with a divided society, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and deeply laid conspiracies.

Now I haven't read the first book in this series yet, but it's my understanding that it's a whole new set of characters. Same world just different people. I still plan on reading City of a Thousand Dolls before I do this one though because both of them sound interesting. And once again...I'm in love with this cover!

What are you waiting for this week? :)
