Waiting on Wednesday: The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where we discuss what books we can't wait for! My pick for today is:

The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski 
Publisher: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux
Expected Publication Date: March 4, 2014
 
Synopsis from Goodreads: 
 
Seventeen-year-old Kestrel is an aristocratic citizen of Valoria, a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers. Here, a girl like Kestrel has two choices: join the military or get married. Despite her skills in military strategy, Kestrel’s real passion is music.Which is why she feels compelled to buy Arin, a slave with a talent for singing, at auction. It’s not long before she finds herself falling in love with Arin, and he seems to feel the same for her. But Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for Arin is much higher than she ever could have imagined.

Set in a new world, The Winner’s Curse is a story of wicked rumors, dirty secrets, and games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.
 
 
Why I'm Waiting: 
 
This book sounds amazing. I feel like it's going to make me cry. Just a feeling I have. I already feel emotions reading the synopsis. A girl falling in love with her slave? I love it. It's going to be such a beautiful love story. And talk about room for growth for the MC. Oh and the cover is stunning. But the synopsis of this one is truly what stole my heart.
 
Have you guys heard of this one? What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
