Publisher Description
How do you keep fighting when you've already been claimed?
When sixteen-year-old Elise is ripped from her home and taken to the royal palace as a permanent 'guest', she thinks her life is over.
Little does she know it has only just begun…
After befriending a group of other captives, including the headstrong Will, Elise finds herself swept away to a world she never knew existed—polished, sculpted, and refined until she can hardly recognize her own reflection. She should be happy to have escaped the poverty of her former life. But she knows a dark truth.
The palace is a dream on the surface, but a nightmare underneath.
With a dwindling population, the royals have imprisoned the teenagers to marry and breed. Only seven days remain of freedom before they will be selected by a courtier and forever claimed.
Danger lurks around every corner. The only chance of escape is death.
But when the day of the claiming finally arrives…the world will never be the same.

The Price of Peace
In a world fallen back into feudal ways, Elise has no choice when royal guards come to take her to the palace. Everyone knew the nobles chose the most accomplished teenagers from throughout the realm to infuse new blood into the palace. Somehow she thought living so far in the outreaches of the kingdom would keep her safe. Now that she knows different, she begins to learn even more about the inhabitants of the palace and the other “guests” who have joined her in her journey.
While the story intrigues me and I have hopes for an unexpectedly brighter ending to their stories, I am wary of continuing this series. I fear the depravities that were hinted at in this volume might be elaborated on in the next. A couple of the characters may have worked their way into my heart and their future looks terrifying as it stands in the last chapter.
