Overview
Having already survived six years at the Tildor's top military academy, sixteen-year-old Renee De Winter is determined to graduate, training day and night to compete with her male classmates. When the boys overpower her parries, she works harder. When a bully sabotages her gear, she fights without it. But when an underground crime group captures her mentor for its illegal gladiatorial games, she must choose between her career and her conscience. Determined to penetrate the group's inner circles, Renee will leap from academia to the crime filled streets, pick up a sword, and weigh law against loyalty.

Thanks for stopping by to check out this great cover reveal and giveaway!!



So... this sounds cool. But that cover is kind of old fashioned for my tastes I think. I'll have to check it out at some point though. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound pretty cool. I think the arm on the front looks more masculine than it does feminine though.
DeleteHave to agree with the arm thought. Hmmmm....it really is interesting though.

So yeah I totally forgot to post this hah. I put it on my Facebook instead just now since a review just went up on the blog. >.<
ReplyDeleteI almost forgot. I had a review scheduled already and had to put this together really quick last night.
DeleteI am SO EXCITED for this one. *-* It has this lovely Tamora Pierce vibe going on, both with the synopsis and the cover, and if this is anything like her novels, I will ADORE it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds really cool!! I keep thinking it seems so far away since it's a 2013 release, but really it's not that far since the year is half over now.
