The Winner's Curse

Publisher: Bloomsbury

As the daughter of a general in a huge warring empire where the conquered are enslaved, Kestrel's choices in life are to marry or join the military; however, Kestrel has other ideas. One day in the market Kestrel bids on a slave at auction but at a steep price. Attracted by his defiance, she recognises a kindred spirit. But Arin has a secret and soon Kestrel will have to hide her growing love for him as she comes to realise she has paid a much higher price than she could ever have dreamed.

The first in the Winner's Trilogy, this is a skilfully woven story of intrigue, action and romance. A clever mix of historical fiction and fantasy, this is a gripping and engrossing read.
