For those who have loved Seraphina and Graceling comes another truly fabulous fantasy...
For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the ruins of Forsaken Mountain. Time enough for their dark and nefarious magic to fade from human memory and into myth. But a prophesy has been spoken of a union with the power to set the trolls free, and when Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she learns there is far more to the myth of the trolls than she could have imagined.
Cécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus: escape. Only the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. She will have to bide her time, wait for the perfect opportunity.
But something unexpected happens while she’s waiting – she begins to fall for the enigmatic troll prince to whom she has been bonded and married. She begins to make friends. And she begins to see that she may be the only hope for the half-bloods – part troll, part human creatures who are slaves to the full-blooded trolls. There is a rebellion brewing. And her prince, Tristan, the future king, is its secret leader.
As Cécile becomes involved in the intricate political games of Trollus, she becomes more than a farmer’s daughter. She becomes a princess, the hope of a people, and a witch with magic powerful enough to change Trollus forever.
Okay, I will admit that Stolen Songbird and I are not love at the first sight. It is only after I read this glowing review by the ladies @ Unladylike Reviews that I started to take an interest in this book. And once I did that, the only thing I wish for now is for April to come faster because this story sounds absolutely AWESOME (Plus, I really like the MCs names...)
Leave me a link of your WoW, I will make sure to check it out :)
I really like the MC's names too! Cecile especially. And I find the cover super pretty. Thanks for sharing!

I kind of wonder how to pronounce it exactly but it looks really pretty :D
DeleteAfter all the positive reviews I've seen of this one I'm pretty excited for the release, too :) I was also hesitant at first but the consensus is that it's a great read.
ReplyDeleteYep. I have known Strange Chemistry for awhile now and some of my friends really like their books. This would be my first try out with them!
DeleteI'm not into fantasy, but I'm going to give it a try. Dorothy (Whiskey) will kill me otherwise :D
ReplyDeleteHaha. It sounded like she had a great time with this book. I'm definitely an addict for fantasy so yeah, I'm definitely trying this one out :P
