Chapter One

Twelve girls from each of the sectors are randomly chosen to go to the Capitol City to compete for the Crown Prince's hand in marriage. Harper Sarcathin is the rare woman who wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Growing up poor and working every day of her life has made her immune to the wonders of gowns, silks and flowery politicians. While bored, she stumbles on a conspiracy plot against the future King and Queen that dates back centuries. Suddenly, her lack of care for what others think of her is going to come in handy, trying to save the future rulers.
