Blood sings to blood, Froi . . .
Those born last will make the first . . .
For Charyn will be barren no more.
Those born last will make the first . . .
For Charyn will be barren no more.
Three years after the curse on Lumatere was lifted, Froi has found his home... Or so he believes...
Fiercely loyal to the Queen and Finnikin, Froi has been trained roughly and lovingly by the Guard sworn to protect the royal family, and has learned to control his quick temper. But when he is sent on a secretive mission to the kingdom of Charyn, nothing could have prepared him for what he finds. Here he encounters a damaged people who are not who they seem, and must unravel both the dark bonds of kinship and the mysteries of a half-mad Princess.
And in this barren and mysterious place, he will discover that there is a song sleeping in his blood, and though Froi would rather not, the time has come to listen.
Gripping and intense, complex and richly imagined, Froi of the Exiles is a dazzling sequel to Finnikin of the Rock, from the internationally best-selling and multi-award-winning author of Looking for Alibrandi, Saving Francesca, On the Jellicoe Road and The Piper's Son.
I've read two of Marchetta's books: Saving Francesca and Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles #1). I loved both of them and can't wait to continue to the series! I absolutely love the cover and want it in my hands now!

The blurb as seen on Internet Movie Database:

I loved this movie. It's sick. The acting was awesome. I just wish I owned it on DVD. That's why it's on my wishlist this week!
What's on your wishlist this week?
I'm a bargain bin, sale searching, kind of movie shopper. I was lucky enough to get two copies of Tron for $20 at a Blockbuster when it came out. (Last ones in the store as well!) Got one for myself and one for my brother.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you've seen the original as well! I got a copy of the special edition at a used media store for a few dollars.
