Across the Western world, museums display the spoils of war, of conquest, of colonialism: priceless pieces of art looted from other countries, kept even now.Ī senior at Harvard, Will fits comfortably in his carefully curated roles: a perfect student, an art history major and sometimes artist, the eldest son that has always been his parents’ American Dream. I’m even tempted to make a five-star-prediction… We’ll see if my instinct is correct and if we’ll see a lot more buzz about this closer to publication but I am excited either way. I haven’t actually seen that much on the internet but it just feels right. I don’t know why but I feel like this is going to be one very hyped book. Justice for the empire or her own revenge. Her dead Emperor’s will or the whispers of her own ghosts. But she will also be betraying the ghosts past and present that live on within her heart.Ĭharm must choose. If she does this last thing, she will finally have what has been denied her since the fall of Inshil - her freedom. The wealthy and powerful of Borenguard come to her house to buy time with the girls who aren’t real.Įxcept on Tuesdays, which is when the Emperor himself lays claim to his mistress, Charm herself.īut now–Charm is also the only person who can keep an empire together, as the Emperor summons her to his deathbed, and charges her with choosing which of his awful, faithless sons will carry on the empire-by discovering which one is responsible for his own murder. Charm tends the trees and their clattering fruit for the sake of her children, painstakingly grown and regrown with its fruit: Shame, Justice, Desire, Pride, and Pain.Ĭharm is a whore, and a madam.

The last of a line of conquered necromantic workers, now confined within the yard of regrown bone trees at Orchard House, and the secrets of their marrow.Ĭharm is a prisoner, and a survivor.

Prepare your lists, get your Goodreads account ready, and off we go:Ĭharm is a witch, and she is alone. I’ll post the cover and synospsis for each book (unless it hasn’t been revealed yet) and if I have something to say about a release my thoughts will be posted on blue background. New books by established authors (Adult, Young Adult, and Middle Grade).Let us all take a moment of silence in mourning for our collective wallets. More will be announced for sure once 2022 has arrived. There’s still a LOT of books on this list and those are only the ones that we know at this time will be published in 2022. In order to keep it a bit more organized, I’ve grouped these upcoming books into categories. There are only a few days of 2021 left so it’s the perfect time for making lists and pre-ordering and generally looking forward to all the books to come out next year, right?
