Book 3 of the The Selection series
323 pages · First published 2014
America Singer has survived the Selection until only a handful of competitors remain, and she finally knows which future—and which man—she wants. Winning Prince Maxon is no longer simply a romantic problem, however, because rebel attacks and revelations about Illéa’s rigid society make the crown increasingly political. America must decide how openly she is willing to challenge expectations while rivals and royal pressure threaten her place at the palace. The third Selection novel brings the original trilogy’s romance, competition, and dystopian conflict together as America fights for a future she once never wanted.
