WoW: The Pledge by Kimberly Derting

Posted by Kathy Martin at 6:07 AM
Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. She has a linky widget at her site each week for your post and to make it easy to find posts by other people.

The purpose of the meme is to spotlight books that we are eagerly anticipating. It is fun to take a look at what others are waiting for.

I have noticed that it has expanded my wishlist though. Be warned!

I am looking forward to The Pledge by Kimberly Derting. It will be published on Nov. 15. I really liked The Body Finder and am curious to see how she does when she writes fantasy.

Here is the product description:
In the violent country of Ludania, the language you speak determines what class you are, and there are harsh punishments if you forget your place—looking a member of a higher class in the eye can result in immediate execution. Seventeen-year-old Charlaina (Charlie for short) can understand all languages, a dangerous ability she’s been hiding her whole life. Her only place of release is the drug-filled underground club scene, where people go to shake off the oppressive rules of the world they live in. There, she meets a beautiful and mysterious boy who speaks a language she’s never heard, and her secret is almost exposed. Through a series of violent upheavals, it becomes clear that Charlie herself is the key to forcing out the oppressive power structure of her kingdom….
It sounds like a great story to me. What do you think?

    The Pledge is amazing! As much as I love The Body Finder series, I think this is Ms. Derting's best work yet. Can't wait to see what you think of it!
