"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted @BreakingtheSpine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick is waaaay ahead: "The Fate of the Tearling" by Erika Johanssen.

Expected Publication: November 29th 2016

I really liked the previous two books and I have my fingers crossed for a nice wrap up of the trilogy!

Synopsis:
The thrilling conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Tearling trilogy.
In less than a year, Kelsea Glynn has transformed from a gawky teenager into a powerful monarch. As she has come into her own as the Queen of the Tearling, the headstrong, visionary leader has also transformed her realm. In her quest to end corruption and restore justice, she has made many enemies—including the evil Red Queen, her fiercest rival, who has set her armies against the Tear.
To protect her people from a devastating invasion, Kelsea did the unthinkable—she gave herself and her magical sapphires to her enemy—and named the Mace, the trusted head of her personal guards, Regent in her place. But the Mace will not rest until he and his men rescue their sovereign, imprisoned in Mortmesne.
Now, as the suspenseful endgame begins, the fate of Queen Kelsea—and the Tearling itself—will finally be revealed.

PS: I don't know what is the official cover or even if there is one yet. I found that one which ties up nicely with the other two:

However over at GR this is the cover:

Although I get the blue sapphire hint, I don't like it very much...
