Waiting on Wednesday: Trial by Fire

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we cannot wait to get our hands on.

 I am waiting on:

Title: Trial by Fire

Author: Josephine Angelini

Series: The Worldwalker Trilogy #1

Publisher: Feiwel & Friends 

Publication Date: September 2, 2014
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, 

Love burns. Worlds collide. Magic reigns.
This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. Her life-threatening allergies keep her from enjoying many of the experiences that other teenagers take for granted...which is why she is determined to enjoy her first (and perhaps only) high-school party. But Lily's life never goes according to plan, and after a humiliating incident in front of half her graduating class Lily wishes she could just disappear.
Suddenly Lily is in a different Salem - one overrun with horrifying creatures and ruled by powerful women called Crucibles. Strongest and cruellest of all the Crucibles is Lillian . . . Lily's identical other self in this alternate universe. This new version of her world is terrifyingly sensual, and Lily is soon overwhelmed by new experiences.
Lily realizes that what makes her weak at home is exactly what makes her extraordinary in New Salem. It also puts her life in danger. Thrown into a world she doesn't understand, Lily is torn between responsibilities she can't hope to shoulder alone, and a love she never expected.
But how can Lily be the saviour of this world when she is literally her own worst enemy?

Why am I waiting?

This sounds different than anything I have read previously. I like the idea of an alternative universe, and it sounds like it going to be an action packed read. I also like the idea of a heroine who was weak in one way, only to discover she can be strong in another. It also has some romance that adds to it appeal. 

What are you waiting on?
