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.
It’s heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere! I have been looking forward to this book ever since everyone who got it at BEA 2013 gave it 5 stars.
It better live up to the hype!

Ohhh! The Winners Curse looks amazing! Love that cover and when I actually saw it in person I realized she’s holding a knife – which of course makes it even more dramatic and intriguing! Hope you enjoy!

It is really pretty! Unfortunately the Australian cover has more pink in it, so I’m a bit bummed I pre-ordered this from the US now…

I’ve been seeing The Winner’s Curse everywhere. I’d love a print copy of it but I have an e-book of it also. I gotta get to reading it sometime!
Happy Reading!
My STS!

The Winner’s Curse was a bit over-hyped for me, but I hope you enjoy it! I seem to be in the minority on 3 staring it.
