It’s 2045 and with this New Era comes a New World – literally.

Twenty years ago, Theodore Easton gained the throne from his father. Before he could run the country, his father and mother urged him to marry. Many girls were delivered to the palace for him to choose from. Theodore wanted someone with a pretty face. In the end, he married Audeliz Porter — a shy, quiet, peaceful girl who was only fourteen when she married twenty-one year-old Theodore.

Their union was the start of a New World.

The people live in a world restricted of their freedom: there is no religion, education is not meaningful, families are torn apart by the government’s drafting, and a lot of people have lost their lives fighting for their freedom. Bar codes limit an individual’s life and imprisons them for a life with no change, no moving forward from the despair that hangs over most citizens in the New World. Racial justice and human rights are nonexistent, the people’s lives depend on the King’s words and choices.

Prince Alexander and Prince Cameron are both at the age to rule over the New World, and they give citizens hope that they can gain their freedom once again. But before either of them can take over the throne, they must compete with each other in everything it takes to be king and find a wife to rule by their side. King Theodore picked out twelve girls not too long after the birth of his sons, and the girls were branded at birth as government property. The parents of those twelve girls were given clear instructions as to how and when they were to be delivered to the castle for the competition of a life time. A competition that would entertain the King, but bring hope to hundreds of citizens.

Amelie Montgomery was one of the chosen girls for the competition. But with her heart set against the government and everything it stands for, she’s bound to bring nothing but trouble in the competition.
