[close] In the land of Illea, there is one great tradition. It is known as the Selection. When the heir of a royal family, the crowned prince, turns 21, a selection is thrown into their lives. Thirty five girls from each Province in Illea are chosen and brought to the palace for this event. The prince dates each one, and through eliminations, he slowly gets rid of them until he finds The One. The one who will be his bride, the future queen of Illea. As he marries and starts his family, his siblings have their own selections, furthering the royal family. But it all starts with the first born prince. Will your selected girl be chosen? Will she be the future queen? Will she break the rules and be executed for it? Will She find herself falling in love with someone other than the prince? Not only do they have to worry about the Selection, but also the rebellion. There are two rebel groups. The Northern Rebellion cause minor disruptions for the good of the people. They rarely get into the palace and when they do, not too much havoc is caused. The real enemy is the Southern Rebellion. A group of cutthroats who attack only a few times a year, but when they do, people die. People always die. So the question is... are you ready for the Selection?

[close]              Constituted of 35 provinces, Illéa is a country highly known for its selective process for the right to the crown. This year there is a twist- the royal twins will be having their own Selection at the same time, so 35 girls and 35 boys will be chosen to participate. Known as 'The Selection', the competition offers the chance of a lifetime for two people from each province to compete for both the crown and the prince or princess' hand. Swept away from their daily lives, these 70 people stay as guests in the castle, where they are treated like royalty and taught how to rule a kingdom. [ Based off 'The Selection' by Kiera Cass ]
