Story
In a future monarchy built from the remains of the United States, a caste system shapes daily life and opportunity. When the royal family opens a Selection for 35 girls to compete for Prince Maxon’s hand, America Singer is drawn in despite wanting none of it.
America enters with a secret boyfriend back home and little desire to become a princess, but life in the palace pulls her into banquets, gowns, friendships, rivalries, and time with Maxon. As she navigates the competition, her feelings begin to shift and the pressure of the Selection grows more complicated.
All the while, the palace is threatened by rebel attacks and the social order around her remains unstable. America must sort through loyalty, ambition, family need, and competing romances while trying to decide what future she actually wants.
