Publisher's summary

What happens when The Hunger Games meets The Selection?

I never wanted to join the Queen Trials.

But I’m not a victim and never have been. When a peacekeeper attacks me in a mine shaft, I fight back and win.

Sort of. Because I made a mistake. I let him live.

He knows my name. He’ll come after me, and he’ll kill the only person I love: my sweet, clueless brother Shellor. Nobody escapes from Locality Fourteen. There was only one way out that would protect us both: Enter the Queen Trials and become a star.

Now, I’m plunged into a competition with dozens of gorgeous women from all over the kingdom. My fame shelters my brother. My beauty protects me. Or is it my luck? Every woman in the arena wants to capture King Ergondy’s attention, but he only has eyes for me. How long will it be before my luck runs out?

I never wanted to join The Queen Trials.

Now, I must win them.

Strong female lead

Great characterization, interesting distopianish story plot, and leaves you on a cliff hanger. It’s such an easy listen. The author narrates which always makes me feel the characters more authentically. I couldn’t wait to get to the next book.

Queen of books

I Love your book. I'm hooked on this series. Although you have a very nice voice, it sounded like you were sucking on candy and I could here you swallowing which is very irritating. I will be reading the rest of this series.

worst voice actor ever

The story is intriguing and I'm getting really into it...when I can ignore the readers constant mouth breathing, lip licking and obvious dry mouth issues, someone get her a glass of water! let's hope they don't use the same person for the entire series or I may have to switch to a hard copy and avoid the awful audio
