Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you're continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.
I almost shared this one last week. I was so, so thrilled when I saw the news that Leigh was finally writing this story and going back to the Grishaverse! Nikolai is one of my favorite characters of all time. If you've ever been to an author event with Leigh, you probably know that the original plan was to kill off Nikolai, but he had a mind of his own and stuck around. Thank goodness. I'm so excited for him to have his own story! It's my pick this week...

Summary
Face your demons...or feed them.
Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war―and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army.
Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried―and some wounds aren’t meant to heal.
Enter the Grishaverse with this new novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo.
