Choosing
(2020)(The first book in the Covenant Challenges series)
A novel by Paige Clendenin and Rae Hendricks
An ordinary girl with the will to change the world.
A prince who hates the lies the Elite tell.
A deadly game to marry a rich man.
For fans of The Selection and The Grace Year comes a saga you won't believe...
Years after a deadly plague sweeps the globe, women rule and men submit (what's left of them).
That is, unless you're part of the Elite - the rich families who still get to have husbands, children, and live above the means of the rest of the population.
Elyse has had a privileged life, though not an Elite, and she has used it to help those less fortunate, even at the risk of her own freedom. When it comes time for the Choosing, a high profile competition where ordinary girls compete to marry the handsome, rich, and powerful Elite, she sacrifices herself again in hopes to make a difference if she wins.
But first, she'll have to survive the intrigues, bullying, and deadly secrets that hide behind the pretty dresses and high spires of the capital.
Fall into this page-turning feminist dystopia with a strong young woman who is trying to win more than the heart of some bachelor.
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
