"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: The Sin Eater's Daughter
Series: The Sin Eater's Daughter 1
Author: Melinda Salisbury
Expected Publication: Februray 24, 2015
Summary:
Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. But although she’s engaged to the prince, Twylla isn’t exactly a member of the court.
She’s the executioner.
As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly kills anyone she touches. Each month she’s taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love a girl with murder in her veins. Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to Twylla’s fatal touch, avoids her company.
But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he’s able to look past Twylla’s executioner robes and see the girl, not the Goddess. Yet Twylla’s been promised to the prince, and knows what happens to people who cross the queen.
However, a treasonous secret is the least of Twylla’s problems. The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies, a plan that requires a stomach-churning, unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favor of a doomed love?
Why I am lurking on this: An executioner magic woman? Yes, please! There's really not much more to say to it, except that the cover is very coloful and pretty. I'm really looking forward to this and am totally envious of everyone who got an arc!
This has a really pretty cover and looks very interesting! great pick 🙂

Yeah, the premise of this one is intriguing (the kills-with-a-touch thing reminds me of the Shatter Me series) and that cover is absolutely beautiful!

I absolutely cannot WAIT for this book. I mean, sure, the cover first drew me in, but the whole executioner thing had me completely hooked! It sounds so good and so different! GREAT pick, and I hope you love it!
