Waiting on Wednesday Defy by Sara B. Larson (Defy#1)

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine in which we have the opportunity to let others know about books that we are eagerly waiting for.

Title: Defy by Sara B. Larson 
Published by: Scholastic
Release date: January 7th, 2013

Alexa Hollen is a fighter. Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory. The longer Alex is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets. And suddenly, after her own secret is revealed, Alex finds herself confronted with two men vying for her heart: the safe and steady Rylan, who has always cared for her, and the dark, intriguing Damian. With hidden foes lurking around every corner, is Alex strong enough to save herself and the kingdom she's sworn to protect?


Why I want to read it: I really like this cover. There's vegetation on the background and then the knife with the ornate rose hilt looks epic.  The blurb is very interesting, even if it's a love triangle from the get go.  

What are you waiting for this week?

  1. Hmm sounds like a love triangle and I'm not good with those but if the MC is as cool as the blurb says, maybe I'll check it out anyway.
