Waiting on Wednesday #50: The Winner's Curse

Waiting on Wednesday is a wonderful meme created by Jill from Breaking the Spine where we highlighted an upcoming release that we're eagerly anticipating.


 
The Winner's Curse
by Marie Rutkoski
Hardcover, 368 pages
Expected publication: March 4th 2014
by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Summary from Goodreads:
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.

Babble:
This book comes highly recommended by YA book bloggers and Goodreads users. I'm always wary whenever a book garnered such attention before its initial release. But I love the combination of epic historical fantasy so I'm probably jumping on the wagon as well.
