WINNER'S FAULT

LISTENING TO YOUR HEART MAY BE YOUR BIGGEST CRIME.

When royal weddings are mentioned, balls, fireworks and festivities that never end until dawn come to mind. Such a wedding, which is the dream of most young girls, is no different from captivity for Kestrel. While secretly spying on the imperial palace, he now feels surrounded by deceit and lies with every breath he takes. Moreover, he cannot even entrust his secret to Arin, whom he longs for...
While Arin struggles to liberate his country, he suspects that Kestrel knows too much. While the young girl is getting closer to revealing a shocking secret, the thing that will hurt Arin the most will not be the dagger stabbed into her in the dark, but the truth itself.

“The Winner's Crime is a knife-edge novel that oscillates between great romance and terrible destruction. Rutkoski captivated me with his world full of mind games, power struggles and espionage. "I'm looking forward to seeing how Kestrel and Arin's love affair will end."

THE WINNER'S KISS,

SOME KISSES HAVE A PRICE.

The war has begun. Arin is in the middle of this war between his uncanny ally the East and his enemy the Empire. Even though he convinced himself that he didn't love her anymore, he couldn't forget Kestrel, who turned into one of the people he always despised. Because in her eyes, Kestrel values the Empire more than both the lives of innocent people and, obviously, herself.

At least Arin thinks so. However, Kestrel became one of the prisoners in a brutal labor camp in the cold north. Desperately looking for ways to escape from there, the young girl's only wish is for Arin to learn the truth and what Kestrel sacrificed for her. He seeks to make the Empire pay for what it has done.

However, people cannot get what they want just by wishing.

As the war escalates, Kestrel and Arin realize that the world has changed. As the East hates the West, they are caught in the middle. With so much to lose, will there really be a winner in this war?

“The Winner's Kiss is an addictive, mind-blowing novel with its magnificent balance of love, power and sacrifice. “A perfect ending to a great series.”
