Waiting on Wednesday #73: Darkness Hidden



Waiting on Wednesday is a wonderful meme created by Jill from Breaking the Spine where we highlighted an upcoming release that we're eagerly anticipating.


Darkness Hidden (The Name of the Blade #2) 
by Zoë Marriott 
Paperback, 386 pages
Expected publication: July 3rd 2014 
by Walker Books
by HarperTeen
Goodreads 

In the electrifying second volume of Zoë Marriott's The Name of the Blade Trilogy, Mio, Jack and Shinobu have defeated the terrifying Nekomata against all odds, and brought Jack's sister home alive. 

But Mio is still compelled to protect the katana, her family's ancestral sword, and now the Underworld has spawned a worse monster – one carrying a devastating plague that sweeps through London like wildfire. As Mio struggles to protect the city and control the sword’s deadly powers, she realises that this time there is no way she can keep everyone she loves alive... and she must make a terrible sacrifice to save the world.



The first book in the series; The Night Itself was one of the 'under the radar' books that was released last year. I just wished more people will read this series because it is one of the better version of Asian YA fantasy that I've encountered so far.
