Publisher Description
Bold, brutal and beautiful, this is a must-read with the glitter and romance of The Selection and the thrilling action and intrigue of Red Queen.
In a world where women have no rights, sisters Serina and Nomi face two very different fates: one in the palace, the other on an island prison where women must fight to survive.
Serina has spent her whole life preparing to become a Grace - selected to stand by the heir to the throne as a shining example of the perfect woman.
But her headstrong and rebellious younger sister has a dangerous secret, and one wrong move could cost both sisters everything.
Can Serina fight? And will Nomi win?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Serina Tessaro has trained her entire life to be a Grace, chosen by the heir to the throne of Viridia to be held as "the highest standard of beauty, elegance, and obedience. What all little girls were meant to aspire to." Her sister Nomi, two years younger, has reluctantly trained to be her handmaiden. Being selected as a Grace is the only way Serina and Nomi can escape a life of drudgery. Shockingly, Nomi is chosen as a Grace, leaving Serina to take the fall for Nomi's thievery from the palace library. Desperate to find allies and locate Serina, Nomi uncovers a little-known truth about the history of their world and its subjugation of women. Meanwhile, Serina must find a way to survive Mount Ruin, a dangerous prison where women are forced to compete in death matches. Though Banghart's debut may seem familiar, she breathes new life into this feminist story of oppression and resistance. The sisters, whose personalities seem predictable at first, shift and grow, adding depth to each character. Fans of Keira Cass and Marie Rutkoski will be drawn to this absorbing story and left eager for another installment. Ages 14 up. Agents: Joelle Hobeika and Eliza Swift, Alloy Entertainment.
Customer Reviews
Good read. Simple but beautiful
I just finished reading this book, and only realized near the end that it will turn into a series. I love how simple the story is. I like how the book lets you imagine things for yourself rather than describe every detail. I enjoyed it and recommend to those who like rebellious characters.
Interesting
I really enjoyed this book. It had a good pace even if it was a little predictable but the characters are engaging which makes up for it. Will be interested to see how the sequel plays out but there is real potential in this series
