Waiting on Wednesday #12

Purple isn't my favorite color but I love the purple on this cover and basically everything else about this cover. I have been wanting an African based fantasy with royals forever and it is finally here! That alone makes me excited to read this book and the fact that the summary of the book sounds like it's full of action makes me adore it all the more! If you haven't already added this to your TBR piles, do it like now!

Summary: In the walled city of Kos, corrupt mages can magically call forth sin from a sinner in the form of sin-beasts – lethal creatures spawned from feelings of guilt.

Taj is the most talented of the aki, young sin-eaters indentured by the mages to slay the sin-beasts. But Taj’s livelihood comes at a terrible cost. When he kills a sin-beast, a tattoo of the beast appears on his skin while the guilt of committing the sin appears on his mind. Most aki are driven mad by the process, but 17-year-old Taj is cocky and desperate to provide for his family.

When Taj is called to eat a sin of a royal, he’s suddenly thrust into the center of a dark conspiracy to destroy Kos. Now Taj must fight to save the princess that he loves – and his own life.

A gritty Nigerian-influenced fantasy.

Release Date: October 31, 2017
