The Selection series by Kiera Cass is a #1 New York Times bestselling YA series that has sold millions of copies worldwide. Set in the fictional country of Illea (formerly North and Central America), the books follow a competition where young women vie for a prince’s hand in marriage.
The first three books are told from the perspective of America Singer, a girl from a lower caste who enters The Selection reluctantly but finds herself torn between her past love and the prince. The final two books, The Heir and The Crown, shift to America’s daughter Princess Eadlyn, who must hold her own Selection.
Several novellas provide alternate perspectives on key events. They’re optional but add depth to the story.
