For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. It's the opportunity to be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Alexander. But for Evangeline Stone being among the Selected means abandoning all her dreams and turning her back on everything she fought to have. She didn't plan on signing up, but when the king sends her a letter - with not just a request, but a threat, for her to participate - she finds herself with no choice. What would she, just a Six, have to offer Illéa? That's what Evangeline intends to find out, even if it means getting into the games and secrets of royalty - and finding herself closer and closer to the prince she swore not to fall in love with.
