Eminence #1
Eminence
Sprung from the ruins of modern society, the civilization of Atvas values one thing above all else: perfection.
Willow Aldridge is as perfect as they come. Born to the Sovereign and raised in the posh discipline of Charisma, she’s destined to win the competition and follow in her father’s footsteps. There’s absolutely no reason for her to be nervous, none at all.
Leo Hayes is a mess. He’s a discipline of Service, destined for a life of servitude and poverty. Not that he minds. He has all that he needs—his family, friends, and most importantly of all his freedom. That is, until he finds himself thrown into the elitist competition to become Sovereign.
Auden Bonavich is stuck. With his best friend firmly in the spotlight and his father’s demands weighing on his shoulders, he has only two choices: fight Willow for the Sovereignty, or face the consequences.
When worlds collide, the fallout shakes the foundations of Atvas. As tensions heighten and secrets are revealed, one question becomes increasingly clear—in a game of perfection, can anyone really win?

This was one of those stories I just couldn’t put down!! Eminence is an excellent read all around, especially if you’re a dystopian fan! The writing style is one of my favorite parts of the book, and I really enjoyed the plot twists, world-building, and characters too. I can’t wait to see what’s next for the series!

Eminence is the perfect mix of nostalgic dystopian novels and something completely new, something we haven’t ever read before. The familiarity of this tale is such a wonderful contrast to the unexpected twist and turns laced throughout. A book I just couldn’t put down and have read over and over again and was heart broken and happy with every read. These characters will make you smile, laugh and cry in all the best ways, they pull at your heartstrings and remind you exactly what it is to be human and to love and hurt. The world is incredibly well made and the characters just crafted perfectly.
If you are looking for a new read from an incredibly talented author with a career full of exciting things to come, Eminence is the book for you!
I cannot encourage anyone to read this book enough, there is just something special about it that you can’t possibly put into words. I highly recommend you give this incredible book a read.
