The Selection began with thirty-five girls. Now with the group narrowed down to the six Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's heart is fiercer than ever—and America is still struggling to decide where her heart truly lies. Is it with Maxon, who could make her life a fairy tale? Or with her first love, Aspen? America is desperate for more time. But the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want—and America's chance to choose is about to slip away.

The time has come for one winner to be crowned. When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won Prince Maxon’s heart. Now the time has come for Princess Eadlyn to hold a Selection of her own. Eadlyn doesn’t expect her Selection to be anything like her parents’ fairy-tale love story. But as the competition begins, she may discover that finding her own happily ever after isn’t as impossible as she always thought.

When Eadlyn became the first princess of Illéa to hold her own Selection, she didn’t think she would fall in love with any of her thirty-five suitors. She spent the first few weeks of the competition counting down the days until she could send them all home. But as events at the palace force Eadlyn even further into the spotlight, she realizes that she might not be content remaining alone. Eadlyn still isn’t sure she’ll find the fairytale ending her parents did twenty years ago. But sometimes the heart has a way of surprising you…and soon Eadlyn must make a choice that feels more impossible—and more important—than she ever imagined.

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon. But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks. Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

Настало время провозгласить победительницу! Ту единственную, которой достанется сердце принца Максона и корона в придачу. Сначала их было тридцать пять. Тридцать пять девушек, борющихся за то, чтобы стать избранницей принца Максона. Очутившись по воле случая в числе девушек, утвержденных для участия в Отборе, Америка и мечтать не могла, что в один прекрасный день окажется в одном шаге от победы. Но чем ближе конец состязания и чем сильнее обостряется обстановка за стенами королевского дворца, тем отчетливей Америка понимает, как много стоит на кону и как ожесточенно придется бороться за будущее, к которому она стремится...

Сначала их было тридцать пять. Теперь их осталось всего шесть. Это Элита. И битва за сердце принца Максона разгорается с еще большей силой. Но чем ближе Америка Сингер к тому, чтобы завоевать корону, тем чаще встает перед ней вопрос: кому в действительности принадлежит ее сердце - Максону или Аспену? Ведь каждая минута, проведенная с принцем, похожа на дивную сказку. Однако при встрече с Аспеном, ставшим королевским гвардейцем, девушка вспоминает о том, как они с любимым строили планы о совместной жизни. И пока героиня пытается разобраться в своих чувствах, время неумолимо бежит вперед и работает против нее...

Шанс завоевать сердце великолепного принца. Однако Америка Сингер не хочет участвовать в этих состязаниях. Она не хочет бороться за корону, не хочет жить во дворце.
