For readers of Cassandra Clare's City of Bones and Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone, The Girl at Midnight is the story of a modern girl caught in an ancient war.
Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from humans. All but one. Echo is a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market, and the Avicen are the only family she's ever known.
Echo is clever and daring, and at times she can be brash, but above all else she's fiercely loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it's time to act.
Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, but if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take it.
But some jobs aren't as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire.
Are you waiting on a book with a release date that's NEXT YEAR?

A firebird story! I also have this book on my TBR even though it's not set to be released until next year. :)

I haven't heard of this book before but it sounds awesome! To me it sounds kinda similar to Daughter Of Smoke and Bone, which I love. Awesome pick! Also I would love to have feathers for hair =)

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my my WOW. :)
I have some books on my tbr for next year, but most of them don't have covers yet! I've also cut back on how far into the future a book's release date is when I post my WoWs. This doesn't sound like something I would normally read, but I hope you enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteWants it!

I'm waiting on a LOT of 2015 books. I'm trying not to get too excited for them yet . . . though they do look so good.
ReplyDeleteUmmm... how did I miss that part of the description before ("feathers for hair")... that is so weirdly awesome. haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by The Hiding Spot! I responded to your comment with some kidnapping recommendations. (That sounds way creepier than I meant it too...)
I haven't heard of this one before, but it sounds AMAZING. I love the quirky ones, so you'd better believe this is now on my list. Lovely pick!
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my WoW picks last week! Don't you just love that cover?! The description kind of reminds me of Daughter of Smoke & Bone.
