The year 2012 bestowed the world with many memorable moments: the ultra-singable hit from Carly Rae Jepsen, Psy’s catchy single “Gangnam Style” and, of course, the release of the highly-lauded YA hit, The Selection. The captivating young adult dystopian romance became a chart-topping worldwide bestseller with glowing reviews and a fast-developing fanbase.
Since its release in 2012, Cass has written four more installments, including The Elite, The One, The Heir, and The Crown. The first three books follow America and Maxon’s fairytale romance, and the next two move on to a new generation of memorable characters.

However, America never foresaw that her opinions of Prince Maxon would be wrong. Expectations dictate that Maxon will be a snobbish phony, not a sweet and honest boy who makes America realize all her preconceived beliefs were folly.
But twenty-four other girls have Maxon in their sights, and they will not go down without a fight.
