Waiting on Wednesday – 6/23

Okay “Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

My waiting on wednesday book this week is StarCrossed by Elizabeth C. Brunce.  I have been wanting to read Brunce’s retelling of Rumplestilken “A Curse as Dark as Gold“, but haven’t yet.  StarCrossed is her next book and sounds amazing.

Synopsis from Amazon.com: “16-year-old Digger thrives as a spy & sneak-thief among the feuding religious factions of Gerse. But when a routine job goes horribly wrong and her partner & lover Tegen is killed, she disguises herself in a group of young nobles & sneaks out of the city. Accepted as a lady-in-waiting at the stronghold of the powerful Nemair, she finds new peace & friendship (*and* some new targets). But when an old client from the city comes to the castle, she realizes her hosts may be planning the ultimate uprising against the king – & rather than true peace, she may be at the heart of the rebellion.”
