Prologue

Eighteen years ago, the world held their breath as their queen gave birth to twin boys.
Now, one of them must be crowned king.
The first-ever dual Selection is about to begin.

Philippa Wells, Three, has never wanted a life of glamour- with her library and journals, she was satisfied.
But when Princes Christopher and Theodore of Illeá comes of age and the Selection begins, Pippa is pressured against her will to enter. Out of all people in highly-populated Columbia, she is certain that she will not be one of the two Selected.
When she is, her life changes forever.
