Waiting on Wednesday (#102): Rook by Sharon Cameron


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


This week, I'm featuring:


Rook by Sharon Cameron
Publisher: Scholastic
Publication Date: April 28, 2015

Summary (from Goodreads):

History has a way of repeating itself. In the Sunken City that was once Paris, all who oppose the new revolution are being put to the blade. Except for those who disappear from their prison cells, a red-tipped rook feather left in their place. Is the mysterious Red Rook a savior of the innocent or a criminal?

Meanwhile, across the sea in the Commonwealth, Sophia Bellamy's arranged marriage to the wealthy René Hasard is the last chance to save her family from ruin. But when the search for the Red Rook comes straight to her doorstep, Sophia discovers that her fiancé is not all he seems. Which is only fair, because neither is she. 

As the Red Rook grows bolder and the stakes grow higher, Sophia and René find themselves locked in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse. 

Daring intrigue, delicious romance, and spine-tingling suspense fill the pages of this extraordinary tale from award-winning author Sharon Cameron.



I loved Cameron's debut duology - The Dark Unwinding and A Spark Unseen!

    I cannot wait to read this one! Thank you for the excellent review. My calendar is officially marked. You might also enjoy Inventing Madness by J.G. Schwartz. The brilliance of Nikola Tesla is brought out, including his clandestine relationship with Thomas Edison. Their collaboration results in an amazing invention that was shocking..http://www.inventingmadness.com/
