The Alliances

Every new generation in Esperia, a new leader is chosen.
Not from the high-qualifying politicians in the nation.
Not from people who've gone to law school.
But from the children.
After the Fifth War, it was determined that children would be most suitable to rule the nation...and each generation, a new young citizen would be chosen, through a complicated process of interviews and tests, known as the Alliances, to rule the nation until their time came to an end.
Lexie Avery never thought the Alliances would matter to her...
...Until she got chosen for them.
