It’s time for another installment of Waiting on Wednesday, where we give you the 411 on the books that we can’t wait to read.
Flame in the Mist by Renée Ahdieh
Anticipated Arrival Date: 5/16/2017
Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the ranks of the Black Clan, determined to track down the person responsible for the target on her back. But she’s quickly captured and taken to the Black Clan’s secret hideout, where she meets their leader, the rebel ronin Takeda Ranmaru, and his second-in-command, his best friend Okami. Still believing her to be a boy, Ranmaru and Okami eventually warm to Mariko, impressed by her intellect and ingenuity. As Mariko gets closer to the Black Clan, she uncovers a dark history of secrets, of betrayal and murder, which will force her to question everything she’s ever known.
I want to read this too! I think Ahdieh’s writing is so beautiful. I cannot wait for her to take me into a new world.
