Hey everybody! Happy Wednesday! Two weeks in a row with this one!
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa @ Wishful Endings (and was previously hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine where it was known as Waiting on Wednesday) to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. They’re usually books that have not yet been released.
This week’s book is:
Bloodguard by Cecy Robson! ⚔️🌹
This has been on my radar for awhile, but the release date kept changing, so I kept it off of all my Anticipated SFF lists. After all this time, I’m not sure how I feel about reading it – though I’m still interested – but I’ll probably read it sometime soon.
Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
SERIES: Old Erth #1
LENGTH: 512 pages
GENRES: Fantasy, Romance, Fiction

RELEASE DATE: 21 October 2024
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise…
Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie.
Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena―vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive―would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose.
He was wrong―and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity.
All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day.
Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard―and his freedom.
But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap.
Nor will his ultimate revenge…
Are you looking forward to the next volume of Bloodguard? What other books are coming out in the next few weeks that you’re looking forward to?
As always, thank you all so much for reading and have a great day/night!
See ya ~Mar
