Description

Winning what you want may cost you everything you love. The first book in the breathtaking Winner’s Trilogy is an irresistible story of forbidden romance and class warfare

Kestrel lives the lavish lifestyle of a Valorian General’s only daughter, and such riches come at a cost for Valoria’s captives – and for her. As the Herrani face death or slavery, Kestrel’s destiny is shaped by her father. He gives her two choices: join his army or get married. Desperate to realise her own future and knowing that it will invite scandal, she pays a small fortune for a handsome Herrani blacksmith at a slave auction. Arin not only plays Kestrel’s power games, he understands what she needs and soon she is torn between loyalty to her people and her feelings for him. But Arin is not all he seems and Kestrel will learn that the price she paid for him is much higher than she ever could have imagined.

The first novel in a stunning new trilogy, The Winner’s Curse is a story of romance, rumours and rebellion, where dirty secrets and careless alliances can be deadly – and everything is at stake.

Good Reads reviews for The Winner’s Curse:

'Love love love love love. If you're a fan of Leigh Bardugo's Grisha trilogy or Diana Peterfreund's For Darkness Shows the Stars series, you need to get your hands on this one ASAP. It has the feel of a historical fantasy without slotting neatly into either category, as well as a pensive mood and very romantic story.'

'This is the sort of fantasy I repeatedly crave; a clever and richly-crafted tale, with a plot that builds quietly but surely. It has it all – intriguing politics, a forbidden romance, a quick-witted and strong-willed protagonist, writing that flows seamlessly across the page. I’m still somewhat surprised that it worked for me – that it worked for me in every single way – but it did, and there’s nothing quite like that wonderfully familiar descent into series-obsession territory.'

'Included in The Winner’s Curse is a good blend of romance, suspense, action, and political intrigue to keep anyone enthralled. While I do believe this is the perfect read for all fantasy lovers out there, I also think this will appeal to readers with diverse tastes in literature.'


'This is a book that is difficult to associate with any specific genre. It’s fantasy, it’s historical fiction, it’s romance. There are political machinations, battles and conflict between two dynamic societies. Winner’s Curse is a fantastic page-turner that will keep you mesmerized until the very end. '
