The Spare: Prince Osten's Selection

Prince Osten Schreave of Illéa has grown up hearing stories of how his parent fell in love during his father's Selection, watched his older sister find love in her own Selection, and seen his older brothers find love on their own, but finding true love is really the last thing on Osten's mind. However, his allegedly irresponsible and reckless manner has made his parents and older sister, the Queen, decide something needs to be done to help him grow up. It is time for Osten to have a Selection.

Zara Collins is the daughter of a former Six and Three who married right after the end of the caste system. Despite the freeness of Illéan society since King Maxon took charge, Zara's family has always been looked down upon as Sixes by people who still abide by the old ways. Zara is determined to go to study at a university and overcome the position she was born into. However, she had no money to do so and government aid is almost non-existent. When she hears news of Prince Osten's Selection and the fact that participants get compensated, she knows it may be her only chance at her dreams. The only problem is that she finds Osten to be a totally lazy and spoiled rich kid. However, first impressions are not always correct, and it may be that she has more in common with the young prince than she ever could have imagined.

America yelled at Maxon when they first met, Eadlyn conspired to get rid of every boy, but will the mischievous prince and the ambitious commoner find something in each other they never knew they were missing? Read to find out in this unofficial sixth installment to The Selection series...
