GATES OF THREAD AND STONE BY LORI M. LEE
In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.
In a city of walls and secrets, where only one man is supposed to possess magic, seventeen-year-old Kai struggles to keep hidden her own secret—she can manipulate the threads of time. When Kai was eight, she was found by Reev on the riverbank, and her “brother” has taken care of her ever since. Kai doesn’t know where her ability comes from—or where shecame from. All that matters is that she and Reev stay together, and maybe one day move out of the freight container they call home, away from the metal walls of the Labyrinth. Kai’s only friend is Avan, the shopkeeper’s son with the scandalous reputation that both frightens and intrigues her.
Then Reev disappears. When keeping silent and safe means losing him forever, Kai vows to do whatever it takes to find him. She will leave the only home she’s ever known and risk getting caught up in a revolution centuries in the making. But to save Reev, Kai must unravel the threads of her past and face shocking truths about her brother, her friendship with Avan, and her unique power.

Gates of Thread and Stone is a new addition to my wishlist. I actually just found this book this week so expect it to make an appearance in my Friday Finds post as well.
I added this book to my wishlist because it sounds intriguing. It's title is also similar to 'Daughter of Smoke and Bone' and those books were amazing so comparisons have to be made. I hope it lives to the high expectation I have already created for this book.
And look at that cover!! It is spectacular. I love it. I seriously do. I hope that the UK Edition has this cover. It better have this cover!! The writing, the background image, it is just so appealing to the eyes. I think it is absolutely beautiful.
As for the blurb, there s quite an intriguing story there. One that I find appealing and can't wait to read. I know that is the only thing I'm saying in this post!!
I have never read or researched this author before so I don't know if this is her first novel or anything, so it will be a surprise to see her writing style and story telling techniques.
Gates of Thread and Stone will be a book that I will be keeping a look-out for. And for everyone it's expected release date is August 5th 2014.
I'm excited for this one as well, I think it is her debut novel. But I don't dare to say that's 100% accurate :)
