Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine to show the  upcoming titles that we're mostly eager for.



Summary (from Goodreads) 

Title : Deception's Princess (Deception's Princess #1)
Author : Esther M. Friesner
Publication Date : April 22nd 2014
Publisher : Random House for Young Readers
 Goodreads - Amazon

I am too young to be a part of so many lies. . . .
Maeve wishes she were born a boy. Headstrong and fearless, she would be the heir her father, the High King, deserves. Instead she is the youngest of five daughters and will eventually be shipped off into fosterage and then used as a pawn to make her father's kingdom stronger with her marriage. Frustrated, she turns to trickery and bad behavior until no family will foster her and no well-bred son will marry her. But is that what she really wants? How did she find herself wrapped up in so many lies? It's time for Maeve to tell her story . . . the true story.

Esther Friesner's remarkable gift for combining exciting myth and richly researched history beckons readers into the fascinating world of first-century Ireland. Hand Deception's Princess to fans of Tamora Pierce, Shannon Hale, and Malinda Lo.

First thought - The book version of Brave! It's Merida on the cover!

Anyways, this sounds like a really interesting and unique YA Fantasy book. I'm especially curious about why wants to be a boy so much and the Irish setting.

What do you guys think of this title?

Happy reading! :)

Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills.
