Waiting on Wednesday #66

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Prophecy by Ellen Oh
Publisher: HarperTeen
Expected Publication: January 2nd, 2013
Pages: 320

Goodreads Summary:

The greatest warrior in all of the Seven Kingdoms... is a girl with yellow eyes.

Kira’s the only female in the king’s army, and the prince’s bodyguard. She’s a demon slayer and an outcast, hated by nearly everyone in her home city of Hansong. And, she’s their only hope...

Murdered kings and discovered traitors point to a demon invasion, sending Kira on the run with the young prince. He may be the savior predicted in the Dragon King Prophecy, but the missing treasure of myth may be the true key. With only the guidance of the cryptic prophecy, Kira must battle demon soldiers, evil shaman, and the Demon Lord himself to find what was once lost and raise a prince into a king.

Intrigue and mystery, ancient lore and action-packed fantasy come together in this heart-stopping first book in a trilogy.

I think this sounds quite similar to Graceling by Kristin Cashore, which I sadly haven't read yet, but I do own a copy! Nonetheless, I put Prophecy on my to-read list as well, because it sounds equally awesome and kick-ass and I'd love to get around to comparing these two sometime in the future.

What are you waiting for this Wednesday?
