The Winner’s Crime
Marie Rutkoski

Goodreads Purchase

Book two of the dazzling Winner’s Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of country for love.

The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement…if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.

As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

    Quite a lot of awesome books this week! I have my copy of Winner’s Crime en route so I hope it’ll arrive in time for release day!
    Vision in Silver I’m also super excited about! And very intrigued about Mosquitoland and The Storyspinner!

  2. Faye

    WOW! So many different books coming out this week! I only have my eye on Vision in Silver, though. I already read it as an ARC but I would loooove a physical copy.

  3. Kayla @ The Thousand Lives

    WOW! There’s a lot coming out this week! The only one I really have my eye on is The Winner’s Crime, but I’ll probably wait till the end of March to get it, since I have so much on my TBR. It’ll be my reward for reading them all 😉

  4. Riya

    Yes, Giselle, yes!!!! This post is awesome because of so many amazing books. ESPECIALLY The Winner’s Crime! That is probably my most highly anticipated book of the year. And there are so many books that sounds wonderful that I didn’t know about before this post, so thank you for putting them on my radar! Hung Up, Sorceress and Positively Beautiful seem so great and their covers and gorgeous. Lovely post, Giselle! 🙂 x
