Waiting on Wednesday (1): The Wise One by K.T Anglehart

Waiting on Wednesday's is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I can't believe I've had this blog for so long and this is the first time I've done a Waiting on Wednesday, a popular weekly event that I've seen many book bloggers do. *Note that it appears that Breaking the Spine hasn't been active since 2016, I still want to participate and credit them as the creators!

For my first Waiting on Wednesday ever, I want to spotlight The Wise One by K.T Anglehart.



Expected Publication: October 28, 2020
Publisher: Kat Biggie Press

Goodreads synopsis

Mckenna’s never thought much of her nightmares, but on her seventeenth birthday, a vivid dream of burning at the stake awakens her dormant abilities, thrusting her into a world where faeries are real, spirits hold a grudge, and a High Priestess obsessed with a 16th-century prophecy is tracking her every move.

​Now, her overprotective dads, Seán and Andre, are forced to tell her the truth—they know who her birth mother is, and her life is not the surrogate story she’s ​always ​been told. Abigail, Mckenna’s mom, is some sort of mystic, and Mckenna a Wise One.

​Whatever the hell that means.

​With the help of a persistent little wren and company of a newfound friend, Mckenna journeys to Ireland in search of her mother and real answers. Along the way, she learns to harness her innate magic and trust her intuition, as best she can anyway—Cillian, a kind and passionate delegate ​who crosses her path, is proving much harder to read.

​Only her mother could truly help her halt her ill fate and prepare her for what’s to come…before she gives in to the darkness she knows is buried deep within.

Why I Can't Wait

I am a sucker for anything set in Ireland or anything that has to do with Celtic folklore, so this book seems right up my alley. I am also fairly certain that this is Anglehart's first book, and I love reading debut novels. Plus, the book seems to be part of a series, so maybe I'll be setting myself up to love multiple new books. Lastly, the advanced reviews are all very positive, so that's just hyping me up even more.
