As I was reading The Selection series, I was thinking to myself, why is the king so discriminating toward the castes? It annoyed me so much that I decided to write a The Selection book where King Clarkson is actually nice! He won't hate America or any other girl because of her low caste. He will, however, not like other things about the girls... (Such as their guts) Also I'm going to have a lot of plot changes... DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE SELECTION SERIES! IT WON'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU!
Erika Carpenter lives the simple life of a farm girl in the heart of Kent. Though the castes have been abolished, her family still sees its effects. Farming is a dangerous game, one that they may lose. With 5 children, money is tight. And after a terrible harvest, their crops, and money, is nearly nonexistent.
Enter Prince Derek. The heir to the throne of Illéa, who has just become of age, which means it's time for another selection. Forms are sent to the house of every eligible girl in Illéa, including Erika. Erika enters the selection, hoping to save her family's farm, and possibly find love. To her surprise, she is selected and whisked into a world of gowns, parties, and a fairytale life. But with unseen hardships ahead, will she remain a farm girl, or become a real Princess of Illéa?
