Percabeth's Selection

Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase. Selection. #1 in Selection. #30 in Percabeth. (Best rated.)

For Percy, the idea of having 35 girls in the palace, all competing for him is exhilarating and nerve-racking. But, the idea of finding a Queen for the country among them and somehow at the same time finding love... it sounded impossible.

Annabeth, in her muddled jeans and crooked armour with her hair tied in a messy bun, looked nothing like a princess.

But sometimes, just sometimes... Seeing her wearing his crown and tending to his legs after a minor accident to his knees during one game of Capture the Flag with his friends, Percy wondered if he ever wanted a Selection.

Or more precisely, thought that if it were all just up to him, he would never need a selection.

But, Percy is a prince. To a prince, the kingdom and its traditions come above all. He can't just choose to dodge something significant half the kingdom is interested in. He can't manipulate the Selection process, and he can only hope the universe sends the right people his way.

Or... Can he?

Neither of them wishes to spoil what they already have, so they swear to themselves that their friendship would come first no matter what. But, with a wall of 34 other girls between them, is it truly possible to keep jealousy, possessiveness, doubt and all the different feelings from changing them?

Also, the royals know everything they choose to do cannot satisfy all of their people. Will their decisions decide to haunt them? Will they be able to overcome the threats?

Will Percy and Annabeth find the strength in themselves to put their bond through a nerve-racking experience and come out unbroken?

Or will what was first taken as a leap of faith ruin their dynamics once and for all?

Happy reading.
