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.
In this timeless new trilogy about love and sacrifice, a princess must find her place in a reborn world.
In a society steeped in tradition, Princess Lia’s life follows a preordained course. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight—but she doesn’t—and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom—to a prince she has never met.
On the morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assasin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—even as she finds herself falling in love.

ReplyDeleteI am seriously in love with the cover and the synopsis of The Winner's Curse. And the cover for Kiss of Deception is beautiful as well. Thanks for offering such a great prize pack! Hmmm...my most recent favorite fantasy would be NIL, if you would consider that fantasy. I know there are different sub-genres of fantasy so I think it falls under one of them. Thanks again!

YA Fantasy - I don't have favorite,but I hope some of the books I will read will become one of my favorites books :)
ReplyDeleteYA Fantasy is a hard one to pick my favorite from, but I think that Earthbound by Aprilynne Pike is a top choice as well as Graceling by Kristen Cashore.
ReplyDeleteI always find it hard to answer the one favourite question ;-) Fantasy, you say, mmm, I used to love Dragonlance, then I turned to Anne Bishop. Love her style!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any... I can't! But the last book I read was Splintered and I loved it!!
ReplyDeleteThe Fallen Series by Lauren Kate or Divergent by Veronica Roth
ReplyDeleteYA fantasy is my absolute favorite! and my go-to answer is always Throne of Glass/Crown of Midnight. CoM solidified the series as my (new) favorite (throwing out Eragon from #1).
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter is my favourite fantasy, as well as TMI series
ReplyDeleteLoving Stella Gemmell at moment, also enjoy Kate Elliott and Karen Miller as well as the Obvious Martin McCaffrey etc...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is definitely Tahereh Mafi. My favorite series however would have to be a tie between the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout or the Shatter Me series by Tahereh! I can't choose.
ReplyDeleteI don't read many fantasy novels. I'd say Marie Rutkowski. :D
