Books On Our Radar: And I Darken by Kiersten White
I have absolutely loved Kiersten White’s previous works and I am eagerly anticipating And I Darken! There are many reasons this book should be on your radar, but for me I can tell you that I am a huge fantasy fan, and that cover…is everything! I recently have been reading more historical inspired fantasy and I am really digging it, but this is one of those books where the description literally has me begging for more! Luckily I have a TBR the length of a football field, so I think I can handle the wait until And I Darken releases on June 28th, 2016! Check out the blurb below and be sure to add this one to your TBR!

NO ONE EXPECTS A PRINCESS TO BE BRUTAL.
And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival. She and Radu are doomed to act as pawns in a vicious game, an unseen sword hovering over their every move. For the lineage that makes them special also makes them targets.
Lada despises the Ottomans and bides her time, planning her vengeance for the day when she can return to Wallachia and claim her birthright. Radu longs only for a place where he feels safe. And when they meet Mehmed, the defiant and lonely son of the sultan, who’s expected to rule a nation, Radu feels that he’s made a true friend—and Lada wonders if she’s finally found someone worthy of her passion.
But Mehmed is heir to the very empire that Lada has sworn to fight against—and that Radu now considers home. Together, Lada, Radu, and Mehmed form a toxic triangle that strains the bonds of love and loyalty to the breaking point.
From New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White comes the first book in a dark, sweeping new series in which heads will roll, bodies will be impaled . . . and hearts will be broken.
