Seventeen-year-old Kestrel is an aristocratic citizen of Valoria, a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers. Here, a girl like Kestrel has two choices: join the military or get married. Despite her skills in military strategy, Kestrel’s real passion is music.Which is why she feels compelled to buy Arin, a slave with a talent for singing, at auction. It’s not long before she finds herself falling in love with Arin, and he seems to feel the same for her. But Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for Arin is much higher than she ever could have imagined.Set in a new world, The Winner’s Curse is a story of wicked rumors, dirty secrets, and games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart

 

Firstly look at that cover, gosh it’s gorgeous. I am a sucker for gorgeous covers, I sometimes, well most of the time don’t buy a book because I want a certain cover, anyway. This sounds really interesting and intriguing, I haven’t read and Fantasy novel in quite a long time nor have I ever read a Historical novel so I am quite looking forward to reading it.

So this is what I am waiting on this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?
