Aimo Aegle is merely a 6, a caste reserved for maids and waiters. Tough Aimo is happy with the life she lives, she always has a feeling that there is something more to life than working on daily basis for Lady Clementine, a snobby 2 with eyes like ice and a face that has never seen the sun. When a letter from the palace arrives at her home, inviting every young lady between the age of 16 and 19 to participate in 'the selection', Aimo is rather happy. Not because she wants to win over the princes heart, but because she had always dreamed of seeing the palace up close. She had only heard about the mysteries the palace kept, the long lost hidden corridors and chambers, the stuffy old library with books old as Illea itself and even older. Despite living in a simple house made of clay Aimo always had a heart made for something more, and this may be her only opportunity to ever set a foot in the palace. Of course, she must be chosen first from a million entrees with more wealth and power, but what could possibly go wrong?
