The Selection meets The Handmaid’s Tale in the epic sequel to the New York Times bestselling author Amy Ewing’s The Jewel.
Violet is on the run. She’s escaped the Duchess of the Lake, who bought her at auction, and the lifetime of servitude she was once resigned to.
But no matter how far Violet runs, she can’t avoid the rebellion brewing just beneath the Jewel’s glittering surface or the fact that she wants in on it. With Ash and a new ally by her side, Violet discovers her Auguries are more powerful than she could have ever imagined.
But is she strong enough to rise against the Jewel and everything she has ever known? And is she willing to risk the lives of everyone she cares about to find out?

I absolutely love this series! The character development is unique and refreshingly crafted compared to many other romantasy book series. It often feels like other series introduce characters that are half-baked, whiny, and already pessimistic, making it difficult to build empathy and connection. In contrast, this series allows you to witness characters grow over time, as their many layers are built from the ground up. You see every trial and tribulation they endure, which increases the stakes and makes you root for them even more. Their victories feel much more significant as a result. The relationships in this series are grounded in substance, rather than the typical “Oh my goodness, he has cheekbones that could cut steel, and lashes that any girl would envy. I want him, gimme gimme!” kind of insta-love that has become all too common in many novels these days. It's quite sad, but I digress. This series flips that formulaic writing on its head. If you want a “must-listen” experience that will keep you up late into the night, I highly suggest giving this series a try.
