Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating.
Stain by A.G. Howard
Releases on: January 15th 2019
A high-fantasy gothic fairytale inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Princess and the Pea.
Once upon a nightmare, her fairytale begins...
After Lyra—a princess incapable of speech or sound—is cast out of her kingdom of daylight by her wicked aunt, a witch saves her life, steals her memories, and raises her in an enchanted forest . . . disguised as a boy known only as Stain. Meanwhile, in Lyra's rival kingdom, the prince of thorns and night is dying, and the only way for him to break his curse is to wed the princess of daylight, for she is his true equal. As Lyra finds her way back to her identity, an impostor princess prepares to steal her betrothed prince and her crown. To win back her kingdom, save the prince, and make peace with the land of the night, Lyra must be loud enough to be heard without a voice, and strong enough to pass a series of tests—ultimately proving she’s everything a traditional princess is not.

Thoughts:
Can I just start by saying that A.G. Howard's novels always have the most beautiful covers. Honestly. The covers alone are always enjoy to pique my interest before I read the description. I don't think I've ever actually read a Princess and the Pea retelling before so I'm certainly excited to do so with Stain. I think it sounds fabulous.
What do you think of Stain? Do you plan to read it?
And what are you waiting on this week?
