'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.' - Goodreads
I will be honest and admit that it's mostly the cover that drew me to The Winner's Curse first but having read the synopsis I was hooked and now have a very long wait!
What are you waiting for?
The cover truly is gorgeous. I'm not ashamed to admit that I let myself get drawn in by covers, too. And why not? Authors should make an effort to create wonderful covers. It's the first impression that counts, right?
