Eleutheromania

Victoria Kingsley's world is the same as most girls her age. On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, she will be drugged, CAT scanned, and turned inside out to find her most compatible 'Match', someone to spend the rest of her life with. Of course, the man will have to be of Golden class-- from money and politician parents-- because no one had ever been Matched outside of their class. It simply wasn't done.

After returning home from finishing school, Victoria can only hope to throw a wrench in the plan. All she wants is to be free, and there's only one place she knows that's closest to freedom: the Squalors.

An eventful night, starting with a dance around a bonfire and ending with a bite from a Lycan, draws to a close, and from then on, Victoria knows one thing. She must have him, the man who may or may not have given her a better existence than just being a pretty prop to a politician's son, whether her Match likes it or not.

In a world where, once Matched, you live a life of utter simplicity, Victoria Kingsley knows she will not, can not, conform to society.
