Each week in my Book Spotlight piece I will be bringing you an upcoming release. These books are ones I am excited about whether they are from a new or an established author. This week I have one of the most highly anticipated upcoming YA fantasy novels!
Title: Reign of the Fallen (Reign of the Fallen #1) by Sarah Glenn Marsh
Expected publication: January 23rd, 2018
Publisher: Razorbill
Odessa is one of Karthia’s master necromancers, catering to the kingdom’s ruling Dead. Whenever a noble dies, it’s Odessa’s job to raise them by retrieving their souls from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands. But there is a cost to being raised–the Dead must remain shrouded, or risk transforming into zombie-like monsters known as Shades. If even a hint of flesh is exposed, the grotesque transformation will begin.
A dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears among Odessa’s necromancer community. Soon a crushing loss of one of their own reveals a disturbing conspiracy: someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead–and training them to attack. Odessa is faced with a terrifying question: What if her necromancer’s magic is the weapon that brings Karthia to its knees?

I’m so excited for this book! I think necromancer magic will be really cool, and the cover is so pretty.

I keep seeing this book around and it’s one I have wished for on NetGalley (if I remember correctly) too! I can’t wait to read this!
