The Selection

In a world divided by a strict caste system, America Singer is a One, a member of the artist caste, and content with her secret love for Aspen, a Six. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she is forced to enter 'The Selection,' a televised competition where 35 girls from across the country vie for the hand of Prince Maxon and the crown of Illéa. For America, it's a nightmare: leaving her family, her love, and her simple life for a world of glittering gowns, ruthless rivals, and royal intrigue. As she navigates the opulent palace and the cutthroat dynamics of the competition, America finds herself torn between her lingering feelings for Aspen, who has now joined the palace guard, and the surprisingly kind, charming, and complex Prince Maxon. Beyond the romance, a growing rebellion threatens the very foundation of Illéa, forcing America to confront not only her heart's true desire but also her role in a society on the brink of change.
