Developed in a universe, where the social classes are divided by castes, which go from 1 to 8. You are born into a caste and that social position is for life. America is a five. It is a tradition that the rightful monarch of Illéa hosts a Selection in order to find a wife before coming of age to reign. Every woman from ages 16 to 21 can enter the Selection, but only 35 women will get elected to enter the palace and live with the Prince for a couple of months. America doesn't want to enter the Selection, but the people who enter it get a small remuneration for it, so she enters it and gets selected. As she didn't want to be in it in the first place, she goes reluctantly, but everything changes when she meets Prince Maxon.
