BOOK OVERVIEW:
The Selection meets Reign in this dazzling trilogy of
interwoven novels about three girls on a quest for freedom and true
love from #1 internationally bestselling author Richelle Mead.
For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a
life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure.
To high-born Adelaide, whose wealthy family is forcing her into a
loveless marriage, the Glittering Court represents something else: the
chance to chart her own destiny, and adventure in an unspoiled,
prosperous new land across the sea.
After a chance meeting
with the dazzling Cedric Thorn, Adelaide poses as a servant to join the
crop of impoverished girls he promises to transform into proper ladies.
But her familiarity with upper class life comes with a price: she must
hide her identity from her new friends, mysterious refugee Mira and
fiery former laundress Tamsin, and most importantly, from Cedric
himself—even though she’s falling in love with him.
Everything begins to crumble when Cedric discovers Adelaide’s ruse, and
she catches the eye of a powerful young governor, who wants her for a
wife. She didn’t leave the gilded cage of her old life behind just to
become someone else's property. But nothing is as daunting—or as
wonderful—as the potent, forbidden attraction simmering between Adelaide
and Cedric. One that, if acted on, would make them both outcasts in a
wild, dangerous, uncharted world, and possibly lead them to their
deaths.
