The Jewel

De: Amy Ewing

Narrado por: Erin Spencer

The Jewel means wealth. The Jewel means beauty. The Jewel means royalty.

But for girls like Violet, the Jewel means servitude.

Not just any kind of servitude. Violet, born and raised in the Marsh, has been trained as a surrogate for the royalty—because in the Jewel the only thing more important than opulence is offspring.

Purchased at the surrogacy auction by the Duchess of the Lake and greeted with a slap to the face, Violet (now known only as #197) quickly learns of the brutal truths that lie beneath the Jewel's glittering facade: the cruelty, backstabbing, and hidden violence that have become the royal way of life.

Violet must accept the ugly realities of her existence . . . and try to stay alive. But then a forbidden romance erupts between Violet and a handsome gentleman hired as a companion to the Duchess's petulant niece. Though his presence makes life in the Jewel a bit brighter, the consequences of their illicit relationship will cost them both more than they bargained for.

Debut author Amy Ewing expertly crafts an enchanting story full of riches, rivalries, and riveting twists and turns that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

the entire book

Great book

a little slow to start....I was not quite sure what the author was building up to but it ended great and I can't wait to start the next book!!!

yaaaassss

I loved this book. listened to it all in one day great performance. this book was great and God I hope ash dosent die. I will be terribly upset if he does and what happened to Lucian....

Excellent Plot Line

I struggled though this book as it seemed to have lengthy narrative from the main characters point of view. Yet, the story concept was refreshing. Which kept me going with this story. It started to pick up the pace during the second half of the book. Leaving you wanting more with a cliffhanger at the end.

wasn't sure at the beginning, but it hooked me. w

wasn't sure at the beginning, but it hooked me. by the end I was hanging on to every word. be prepared to jump right in to book 2.
