The day I started living was the day you walked into the room. Cliché, Delilah Primar, the typical, awkward, and yet oblivious girl from Atlin would assume. However, when Delilah faces the challenge of a life time, cliché begins to be her reality as she confronts many battles to win the heart of Prince Augustus of Illéa.

After all she is, the daughter of Illéa. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO KIERA CASS©® FROM THE SELECTION™ SERIES P.S.
