The Prince
Book 0.5 of the The Selection series
64 pages · First published 2013
Prince Maxon Schreave prepares to meet the thirty-five young women selected as possible brides while carrying the expectations of a monarchy he has never been free to ignore. America Singer’s arrival immediately disrupts his assumptions because she is unusually candid about not wanting the crown. Seeing early Selection events through Maxon’s perspective reveals palace pressures and emotions America cannot fully interpret. Kiera Cass’s companion novella expands the original novel by giving readers the prince’s viewpoint on the beginning of the competition.
