Second big read of the month

At the beginning of next week, when ever I finish my last weekend book I'll be starting my next big read.
I've chosen Sword and Verse by Kathy Macmillan. You can check it out at goodreads.

It's a more traditional sword and sorcery book. It's also a young adult novel. Or so it says. I don't really care. It looks neat, sounds good so my middle aged butt is gonna read it.

The main character Raisa is a slave, and secretly was highly educated. She works in the palace of the king and is chosen as the next tutor in training for the royal kids. She can't let anyone know that she already knows what she's being trained in, or it would mean her death. It's the fact that shes working with the prince  is her big issue. There's something more growing between them when she's approached by the underground resistance group. Raisa has to deal with working against the man she loves while completely surrounded by the enemy. Raisa somehow comes across something that bring down the ruling class, and she's the key. 

I'm a sucker for romance, but I'm hoping for some nice magic more than anything.  We'll see how it goes when I give it a go next week.
