Chapter One

Only one out of the thirty-five girls who are invited to the palace to compete in The Selection becomes the queen of Illéa. Thirty-four girls are sent home, wondering what they could have done differently to have won the prince's heart.

Will Emerson Grey be one of these thirty-four girls? Coming from a home of seven children and a single, abusive mother, all she's ever wanted is a chance to change her life for the better. Could the Selection be this chance? Or will it just be another heartbreak?
