The Rising (A Selection Fanfic)

Eighteen years after the last Selection, after the fall of the castes and the Selection itself, a new heir prepares for the throne. Shalen Schreave is ready to be king, but what would he be king of? His father's kingdom is slowly crumbling as the Sotutherners and the old upper castes andalliance themselves together against the new kingdom. Shalen needs something to pull the country back together, even if it means making him do the exact thing that he swore never to do; fall in love with one of 25 girls in a new type of Selection. Shalen is forced to find a wife among 25 of the most cunning and wicked women; women of noble birth.
Andrelica Sinder had been prepped her whole life for the palace. Since the fall of the castes and the birth of Prince Shalen, her father, Duke of the city Offaly in the Dominion of Ireland, had Andre taught and trained how to fight tooth and nail for the throne, whatever it took. Love was not an option. It had been beaten out. All she needed was the crown.
