"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: The Gracekeepers
Author: Kirsty Logan
Expected Publication: May 19, 2015
Summary:
As a Gracekeeper, Callanish administers shoreside burials, sending the dead to their final resting place deep in the depths of the ocean. Alone on her island, she has exiled herself to a life of tending watery graves as penance for a long-ago mistake that still haunts her. Meanwhile, North works as a circus performer with the Excalibur, a floating troupe of acrobats, clowns, dancers, and trainers who sail from one archipelago to the next, entertaining in exchange for sustenance.
In a world divided between those inhabiting the mainland ("landlockers") and those who float on the sea ("damplings"), loneliness has become a way of life for North and Callanish, until a sudden storm offshore brings change to both their lives--offering them a new understanding of the world they live in and the consequences of the past, while restoring hope in an unexpected future.
Why I am lurking on this: This cover! I love water and ice covers, so... they fit something a bit sad, which this story suggests. It also reminds me of Reaping Me Softly, but more mythical from the sound of the blurb. I'd like to check this out. =)
That sounds really interesting! And the cover is absolutely gorgeous! *___* I hope you enjoy it! <3

Yes, THAT COVER. And the bird cages, and I'm pretty psyched that the authors name is Kirsty, just saying. 😉
