Waiting on Wednesday #54: Witch Finder

Waiting on Wednesday is a wonderful meme created by Jill from Breaking the Spine where we highlighted an upcoming release that we're eagerly anticipating.


Witch Finder (Witch Finder #1)
by Ruth Warburton
Paperback
Expected publication: January 2nd 2014
by Hodder Children's Books
Summary from Goodreads:
London. 1880. In the slums of Spitalfields apprentice blacksmith Luke is facing initiation into the Malleus Maleficorum, the fearsome brotherhood dedicated to hunting and killing witches.

Luke’s final test is to pick a name at random from the Book of Witches, a name he must track down and kill within a month, or face death himself. Luke knows that tonight will change his life forever. But when he picks out sixteen-year-old Rosa Greenwood, Luke has no idea that his task will be harder than he could ever imagine.

Babble:
Malleus Maleficorum was first mentioned in Ruth's ealier series; the Winter Trilogy. I'm eager to find that this series is a prequel of sorts to that one. I'm anticipating that this will be forbidden love between a young witch and her hunter. Sounds cool, huh?
