Waiting on Wednesday #141: Midnight Jewel (The Glittering Court #2) by Richelle Mead


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. It spotlights books that have not yet been released, but ones that you should pre-order today! This week's book that I am anxiously awaiting is:

Midnight Jewel
by Richelle Mead

31574894

In the second installment of the bestselling Glittering Court series, Richelle Mead goes beyond the glitz and glamour, delving into the dark, political underbelly of their world through the eyes of one girl who dares to fight for her freedom.

A refugee of war, Mira was cast out of her home country and thrust into another, where the conditions were inhospitable at best. In a life-altering twist of fate, she is given the chance to escape once more, and she takes it, joining the Glittering Court.

For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they've only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. But for Mira, it means further persecution, not only from her fellow Glittering Court jewels, but from her suitors, as well - men she would potentially be expected to give her life to. 

By day, she goes through the motions, learning the etiquette and customs that will help her to earn her anonymity, even making a couple true friends in the process, the fortnight ladies' maid Adelaide and the ambitious laundress Tamsin. But by night, Mira hatches a different plan entirely - one that, if exposed could get her hanged in the highest court of Adoria. 

Midnight Jewel is the extraordinary story of a girl with few options who courageously forges a new path, finding love, passion, lifelong friendships, and maybe even a way to freedom.
