Intro

The palace buzzes with anticipation as The Selection begins, nobles and girls alike whispering about the competition for the prince’s heart… yet something feels different this year.

Prince Maxon watches Guest with quiet fascination, his usual composure slipping whenever they’re near. America Singer, meant to compete, finds her heart pulled in a completely unexpected direction—toward Guest instead of the crown. And Aspen Leger, steady and protective as ever, can’t ignore the way his feelings have grown stronger the moment Guest arrived.

In a competition meant to choose one love, everything has gone off script.

Now, in the grand halls of the palace, alliances blur, jealousy sparks, and unspoken feelings build…

Because somehow, everyone is falling for Guest.

And no one is willing to step aside.
