Waiting on Wednesday: The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze

The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze sounds a bit like a dystopian retelling of Anastasia, that makes for a blend that triggered my interest.

This is the first book in a new series set in a future, ruined London. The scenario as pictured both in the trailer(watch it below) and the synopsis is rather scary... There have been so many natural disasters(or perhaps it's just the fact that the world wide media coverage is excellent so we get to hear everything that happens in every corner of the world?) lately that this does sound like a thing that could have happened..spoookey. Anyways check out the synopsis and the trailer and let me know what you think of my WoW pick today.

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Happily ever after is a thing of the past.

A series of natural disasters has decimated the earth. Cut off from the rest of the world, England is a dark place. The sun rarely shines, food is scarce, and groups of criminals roam the woods, searching for prey. The people are growing restless.

When a ruthless revolutionary sets out to overthrow the crown, he makes the royal family his first target. Blood is shed in Buckingham Palace, and only sixteen-year-old Princess Eliza manages to escape.

Determined to kill the man who destroyed her family, Eliza joins the enemy forces in disguise. She has nothing left to live for but revenge, until she meets someone who helps her remember how to hope—and to love—once more. Now she must risk everything to ensure that she not become... The Last Princess.
