The Selection
Prince Maxon is now at a legal age to get married, and as a tradition, he is to select his future wife
and future queen from thirty-five candidates picked for him from thousands of
applicants from *castes Two to Eight. One of the candidates is America, a Five.
America was secretly in
a relationship with a Six, Aspen – before he and her mother asked her to join the competition, that led to her
and Aspen’s separation. But being together with Prince Maxon always, she fell
in love with him, and so does he. When everything was going well between them,
Aspen appeared again – he was drafted as a soldier in the palace and his social
status was promoted from Six to Two. And even though America is in love with
Prince Maxon, there is no way she will forget her first love, and Maxon doesn’t
know that it was Aspen.
Who will she choose? Will
it be Aspen, especially now that even if she will not be picked, her life will
be secured with him? Or Prince Maxon whom she loves now and can give her more
than what Aspen can?
The Prince
This is the point of view of Prince Maxon of ‘The
Selection’. His life just before The Selection began until he met America.
The Elite
Thirty-five ladies
were cut down into six – the Elite – and America is still in the game. There were more challenges for them, to prepare themselves for the position as the new
princess, the wife of Prince Maxon, and later on as the queen. Although America
and Maxon is in love with one another, there is no guarantee that America will
win the competition. Maxon has a lot to consider, and America, who is a Five,
has no connection that can benefit the Palace, so Maxon’s father – the king –
is against her. America thinks that she can’t be the queen though, so Maxon has to
find someone from the other elites, get to know them in
case America is not the one, which also created a distance between him and her.
And because of this, America felt that she wasn't sure of Maxon’s love for her
anymore. There is also Aspen who still fight for her love.
Who will America
choose between Maxon and Aspen? Will she take the challenge to become the queen,
with all the insecurities and disadvantages she have?
