Originally created by Jill at Breaking The Spine, and adapted to Can’t Wait Wednesday by Tressa at Wishful Endings, Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week I am waiting on
The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen
Publication Date: July 30th, 2019
Goodreads Summary
A future chieftain
Fie abides by one rule: look after your own. Her Crow caste of undertakers and mercy-killers takes more abuse than coin, but when they’re called to collect royal dead, she’s hoping they’ll find the payout of a lifetime.
A fugitive prince
When Crown Prince Jasimir turns out to have faked his death, Fie’s ready to cut her losses—and perhaps his throat. But he offers a wager that she can’t refuse: protect him from a ruthless queen, and he’ll protect the Crows when he reigns.
A too-cunning bodyguard
Hawk warrior Tavin has always put Jas’s life before his, magically assuming the prince’s appearance and shadowing his every step. But what happens when Tavin begins to want something to call his own?
This book looks and sounds incredible. I love books that are rife with morally ambiguous characters and deceit. I’m intrigued to uncover the history of the Crows and also get an insight into the dymanics between our three main characters.
What’s your most anticipated book?

Morally ambiguous characters are my favourite kind. I can’t wait to see what sort of mischief these guys get up to.
