In a world ruled by a rigid caste system, America Singer never wanted to be part of the Selection—a competition where girls vie for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon. For others, it's a dream come true: a chance to escape their lives and embrace royalty. For America, it means leaving behind her secret love, Aspen, who belongs to a caste below her.

Thrust into the opulent world of the palace against her wishes, America is determined to remain indifferent. But when she meets Prince Maxon, everything changes. The life she envisioned for herself starts to blur as she begins to question where her heart truly belongs.

Torn between two worlds and two loves, America's choice could transform her life forever. Will she cling to the past she knows, or risk everything for a future she never imagined?
