Description
"The entire bloodline, every last one of them has been greedy, violent, corrupted by their own power. Believe me when I say that Princess Selene, even if she were alive, would be no better." - Book 1 Princess Selene Blackburn, heir to the Lunar throne, grows up under the fluctuating influence of her mother and aunt, the corrupted Lunar society, and her morally conscious friends. She has never wanted for anything - not affection, not acceptance, not freedom - and her power gets stronger every day. Once upon another lifetime, she may have been careful with her gift, but Selene grows up knowing she is capable of dazzling and terrible things. Meanwhile, Levana takes Queen Channary's political power bit by bit, making another path to power for herself. There's only one thing the two sisters agree on, and it is that a marriage alliance with the Eastern Commonwealth would be just the thing in sixteen years or so ... How much did Channary's death really change Luna's path, and Levana's too? What if Selene had become a ruler like her mother, or worse, a ruler like her aunt? When she becomes queen, the fate of the world may depend on her character - and her character may depend on an unlikely friendship with Crown Prince Kaito. To change the world, they must see past the politics, and begin to repair the mutiny between Earthens and Lunars ... starting with the two of them. Spoilers for Fairest. The Lunar Chronicles and its characters belong fully to Marissa Meyer. Cover photo does not belong to me.
