Waiting on Wednesday: BURNING GLASS by Kathryn Purdie

This week's book that I am waiting on is one that I am super excited for. I feel like I talk about this one constantly (at least to my parents. I'm trying to hint at them to buy me a preorder for Christmas)...

BURNING GLASS BY KATHRYN PURDIE
Title: BURNING GLASS
Author: Kathryn Purdie
Publication Date: March 1, 2016
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books

Summary:
Sonya was born with the rare gift to feel what those around her feel—both physically and emotionally—a gift she’s kept hidden from the empire for seventeen long years. After a reckless mistake wipes out all the other girls with similar abilities, Sonya is hauled off to the palace and forced to serve the emperor as his sovereign Auraseer.

Tasked with sensing the intentions of would-be assassins, Sonya is under constant pressure to protect the emperor. One mistake, one small failure, will cost her own life and the lives of the few people left in the world who still trust her.

But Sonya’s power is untamed and reckless, her feelings easily usurped, and she sometimes can’t decipher when other people’s impulses end and her own begin. In a palace full of warring emotions and looming darkness, Sonya fears that the biggest danger to the empire may be herself.

As she struggles to wrangle her abilities, Sonya seeks refuge in her tenuous alliances with the volatile Emperor Valko and his idealistic younger brother, Anton, the crown prince. But when threats of revolution pit the two brothers against each other, Sonya must choose which brother to trust—and which to betray.

BURNING GLASS is debut author Kathryn Purdie’s stunning tale of dangerous magic, heart-rending romance, and the hard-won courage it takes to let go.

Preorder:
I NEED THIS NOW. I feel like on a weekly basis I talk about how much I need this book in my life. Because it is everything I want and need out of a book. And people have been saying such good things. And I just WANT IT NOW. Why is March so far away. *cries*
