Elliot Starling is always in the middle and is always being overshadowed by her perfect siblings. When she applies for Prince Adrian's Selection, it's to escape from her life, not to actually fall in love with him. Adrian is sarcastic and ignorant, and Elliot vows to hate him. But when she thinks she is falling for him, her fate has been changed, and she's no longer the same girl she was back home.

What if Maxon was never the prince, and America was never selected? How different would everything be?

Daniel Schreave, 19, prince of Illéa. Paris Marie, 18, a two from Carolina. - Paris was one of the few twos 'lucky' to succeed in entering the selection, it was a truth universally acknowledged that the upper castes were in fact outcasts and that never changed. It was doubtful that it ever would. So I guess there is only one question. Will Daniel take a liking to our outcast or will society's prejudice sway his views. Or, and possibly worse, has another girl stolen his heart?
