Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight
and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.
Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on
Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. I’m back to another sequel this week. And this one has a cover just as beautiful as the first two in the series. I’m guessing they won’t have physical ARCs of it. Which makes me sad, because I want a matching set of these beautiful covers! Yeah, I can buy the finished copies too, but I want this too! Oh well. Anyway, here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Haunted by the sacrifices he made in Constantinople, Radu is called back to the new capital. Mehmed is building an empire, becoming the sultan his people need. But Mehmed has a secret: as emperor, he is more powerful than ever . . . and desperately lonely. Does this mean Radu can finally have more with Mehmed . . . and would he even want it?
Lada’s rule of absolute justice has created a Wallachia free of crime. But Lada won’t rest until everyone knows that her country’s borders are inviolable. Determined to send a message of defiance, she has the bodies of Mehmed’s peace envoy delivered to him, leaving Radu and Mehmed with no choice. If Lada is allowed to continue, only death will prosper. They must go to war against the girl prince.
But Mehmed knows that he loves her. He understands her. She must lose to him so he can keep her safe. Radu alone fears that they are underestimating his sister’s indomitable will. Only by destroying everything that came before–including her relationships–can Lada truly build the country she wants.
Claim the throne. Demand the crown. Rule the world.
So, isn’t that cover to die for? Have you read this series yet? I just really have enjoyed how original this series is and all the what-ifs that the author poses by retelling this bit of history. What book are you eagerly awaiting this week?
Oh my goodness! I still haven't read the second book. I really need to catch up.
Hope you enjoy this one when it comes out 🙂

I was worried if I'd be able to pick up the second one after so long between them, but I was able to get back into it pretty quickly and easily. And I really enjoyed it! Now I am so anxious for the last book. Thanks for stopping by!
I have not read the series, but I agree the cover is beautiful! Enjoy!
Thanks! I can't wait to get to it. Glad you could stop by today!
This book almost seals the deal of me having to have physical copies of all three. How beautiful. I've had some people tell me I'd really love this series and since they are people I trust, I need to pick it up.
All of them are so beautiful! You should totally give it a try. I love them! Thanks for visiting!
That cover is gorgeous! Is that a pomegranate? I have not read this series but it's one I've always wanted to check out. Hope you get a copy!
It does look like it is a pomegranate, could totally be one! It's a favorite series of mine. You should check it out if you get the chance. Thanks for stopping by!
This sounds so good! I would love to start this series too. Great pick.
It is a really good series. You should check it out if you get the chance. Thanks for visiting!
I STILL need to read this series. I do really love the covers though, this one included.

I highly recommend it. It would be good for your Let's Get Beyond Tolerance blog for sure! Thanks for stopping by!
THAT is a gorgeous cover! Though the thought alone of having to peal a pomegranate does tire me out XD
I've never actually had a pomegranate, so have no idea what that would be like. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Oh wow I hadn't seen this cover! Awesome! I am behind and need to read the second book asap.
You definitely do! I really liked the second one. Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome cover. and I always like stories that play with history a bit and really make you think. 🙂
Same here, always gets me interested in learning more about that time in history. Thanks for visiting!
Such an interesting cover on this one! I need to catch up on this series–I really enjoyed the first book!
You definitely should. It's been good for both books! Thanks for stopping by!
THAT COVER! I haven't even heard of this series, but now I need to read it…
The covers are all beautiful! And the stories are very rich and page-turning. Thanks for visiting!
I had no idea that the next book is coming out so soon! It sounds like a really great series. I hope that you enjoy it. 🙂
Yep, can't wait! Thanks for stopping by!
I am late to commenting Lisa, my apologies for that. I think I must've saved the best for last bc i do not know this series and I sooo should! Am off to check it out on Goodreads!
You should definitely check it out! Thanks for visiting!
I think the series would probably be a bit too slow for my tastes but I hope you enjoy this next book. It is a very eyecatching cover!
It is a slow read, well, I can't put it down when I'm reading, but yeah, you've got to have some patience to get through it. I love it though. Thanks for stopping by!
