The Selection meets Reign in this dazzling trilogy of interwoven novels about three girls on a quest for freedom and true love from #1 internationally bestselling author Richelle Mead.Mira is not like the other Glittering Court girls. She is a war refugee, cast out of her home country and thrust into another, where she has learned to fight against the many injustices around her. For some, the Glittering Court offers a chance at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. But for Mira, it’s simply a means to an end. In the new world, she plans to earn off her marriage contract price, and finally be free.

Mira pitches herself as an asset to one of the passengers on board the ship: the sardonic and aloof Grant Elliot, whom she’s discovered is a spy for the prestigious McGraw Agency—and her ticket to buying her freedom. His cover blown, Grant has little choice but to take her on. Mira applies herself by day, learning the etiquette and customs that will help to earn her anonymity. By night, she dons a mask and slips into the city, fighting injustice and corruption on her own terms—and impressing Grant with her extraordinary abilities and insights into an elusive case. But the case isn’t all they’re fighting…

Neither of them can ignore the attraction burning between them—an attraction so powerful, it threatens to unravel everything Mira’s worked so hard for. With freedom finally within her grasp, can Mira risk it all for love?


Why I can't wait for this one!

Well, I can't believe I actually own the first book in this series.....but haven't read it yet! This seems to happen to me A LOT. Lol. So, once again, I need to catch up! Both covers are exquisite, and the plots of both books are, of course, AWESOME, because this is Richelle Mead, and she creates GREAT, kick-butt female protagonists!! So I need to read the first book, yadda, yadda, yadda...... Lol.




Here's the first book in the series!!

  2. I am in the same predicament as you with the first book. I have to admit, I like this cover so much more than the other one. It must be the deep reds and that necklace - it rocks! Great choice and I hope you get a copy as soon as it's released!

      So glad you love my pick!! I can tell you that Richelle Mead is a TERRIFIC author! I'm more into her YA books, though. I have read the entire Vampire Academy series, and those books are just SO AWESOME!! I need to get to the Bloodlines series, too.
