The official blurb is out, and it's probably a violation of copyright to post the whole thing, but here's the part that made me go jump up and down lik a little kid:
Sophos, heir to Sounis, doesn’t look like much of a prince. At least, according to those in power. At least, to those who do not know him or the size of his heart and the depth of his courage, loyalty, and love. But Helen, Queen of Eddis, knows him, and so does Gen, the queen’s Thief, who is now King of Attolia. Gen and the queen believe that Sophos is dead. But they also believe in hope, especially since a body was never found. So when Sophos is discovered in Attolia, climbing a lamppost, peashooter in hand, the obvious question becomes: where has Sophos been all this time?
Peashooter in hand? Climbing a lamppost in Attolia? OMG! I cannot wait to read this book!
If I don't get a galley, I will die. Unfortunately, I think everyone else feels the same way, including the two children's librarians at my library, who have agreed to share if they get one (and vice versa), and everyone at
sounis . I am considering begging my editors at Booklist but I'm not sure if that's poor form. (c; I may not care.
