Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.

Winterwood (Rowankind, #1) by Jacey Bedford

Set in 1800 in Britain, Mad King George is on the throne with Napoleon Bonaparte knocking on the door. Unregistered magic users are pursued to the death, while in every genteel home resides uncomplaining rowankind bondservants who have become so commonplace that no one can recall where they came from.
Meanwhile, Rossalinde Tremayne is satisfied with her life as a cross-dressing privateer captain on the high seas. But a bitter deathbed visit to her estranged mother changes her life completely when she inherits a magical winterwood box. Now, not only is she confronted with a newly-discovered brother, and an annoyingly handsome wolf shapeshifter, Rossalinde has to decide whether or not to open the box to free rowankind and right an ancient wrong—even if it brings the downfall of Britain.
This brand-new series is perfect for fans of Elizabeth Bear, D.B. Jackson, and Marie Brennan, as well as readers of historical fiction who are looking for an accessible gateway to fantasy.
Sounds interesting, adding it to my wishlist! Thanks for sharing, the girl dressed as boy trope is always a bit fun so intrigued to see how this one does it 🙂

A sexy werewolf shifter guy, a pirate’s galloon and a magical box that could free the indentured? Sounds like an amazing plotline! Cool pick, I’m intrigued! 🙂
It’s my first time on your blog and OMG, your picture for WoW is amazing!
Plus, your pick is interesting! 🙂
Sounds like it could be an interesting read. Nice pick.
I’m really looking forward to this as well. The girl on the cover has that “don’t mess with me” look and I just know this will be a bunch of fun. Plus, I want her coat:-)
