Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows us to showcases upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

My Pick:

The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

Expected Publication: March 4th 2014 by Farrar Straus Giroux



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 by Marie Rutkoski 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.


What are you waiting on?
