The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski
Blurb:
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.
