Cover Crush: These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch
These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch had to be featured ASAP! This cover speaks to my dark heart and love for all things black. Some might wonder how I am not a Slytherin. But alas, there is too much pure kindness within my black heart. I have come to terms with my double standards, and know that I like dark stories, bad guys, and all that. These Rebel Waves continues my love and obsession with all things fantasy that include magic and pirates! Do you even need more reasons other than this gorgeous cover, magic, and pirates, because I don’t! If so you can read more about what Sara Raasch says about it here on Bustle. I think you should totally add this to your TBR for the July 3rd release!

The thrilling new fantasy series—full of deadly magic, double crosses, and a dangerous quest in a new world—from Sara Raasch, bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series
Adeluna is a soldier. Five years ago, she helped the magic-rich island of Grace Loray overthrow its oppressor, Argrid, a country ruled by religion. But adjusting to postwar life has not been easy. When an Argridian delegate vanishes during peace talks with Grace Loray’s new Council, Argrid demands brutal justice—but Lu suspects something more dangerous is at work.
Devereux is a pirate. As one of the outlaws called stream raiders who run rampant on Grace Loray, he pirates the island’s magic plants and sells them on the black market. But after Argrid accuses raiders of the diplomat’s abduction, Vex becomes a target. An expert navigator, he agrees to help Lu find the Argridian—but the truth they uncover could be deadlier than any war.
Benat is a heretic. The crown prince of Argrid, he harbors a secret obsession with Grace Loray’s forbidden magic. When Ben’s father, the king, gives him the shocking task of reversing Argrid’s fear of magic, Ben has to decide if one prince can change a devout country—or if he’s building his own pyre.
As conspiracies arise, Lu, Vex, and Ben will have to decide who they really are . . . and what they are willing to become for peace.
