Waiting on Wednesday: Touch of Power (Healer #1) by Maria V. Snyder

Published by: Mira
To Be Released on: December 20, 2011
Pre-Order From: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan assumes their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Territories, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.

Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince—leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life...

I'm totally intrigued by the synopsis. I am a huge fan of Maria's and I loved her Poison Study series. I'm thrilled she has a new series out, and I can't wait to dive into Avry's story. What book are you waiting to be released?

    I just read a review for this from Nice Girl Reads Books, and besides already being in total love with the awesomesauce cover and intriguing premise, this is now a definite auto-buy :)

    I'm looking forward to this book. I also loved the Poison Studies trilogy!

    On the other hand, I felt really conflicted about her Glass series. Though a certain character was redeemed, even likable in the end, I didn't really like the choice she made. I worried about the message it sent given the history. So I'm still not sure whether I liked it or not.

    Asher- I keep hearing great things about it. I can't wait to read it.

    Jen- I totally agree! I'm totally sold on it.

    Aravis- I didn't like the Glass series as much as the Poison Study series either. It was a good series, just not as great as the PS series was for me.

    This sounds like a great book. I think it's a new must have for me. The book i am waiting for most is definitely Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Prince :) can't wait! :D
