Kaniesha's Waiting on Wednesday #1 - Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

Title: Crown of Midnight
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Series: Throne of Glass #2
Release date: August 27, 2013
Summary: An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.
After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.
Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?

I know that I included Sarah Maas in my Top Ten Tuesday post so it seemed fitting to put her in my first Waiting on Wednesday!! Celaena is literally my favorite heroine ever so of course I'm looking forward to continuing along with her story.
