The Winner’s Curse

Are you kidding me with this cover – it is GORGEOUS!!! I broke my normal rules and had to read about all the flailing around this by those who are lucky enough to have read it already. I will be the first to admit, I am jealous…green with envy. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this and I make a mean chocolate chip cookie if anyone is willing to barter.

Winning what you want may cost you everything you love As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined. Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.
