What happens when The Hunger Games meets The Selection?
I never wanted to join the Queen Trials.
But I’m not a victim and never have been. When a peacekeeper attacks me in a mine shaft, I fight back and win.
Sort of. Because I made a mistake. I let him live.
He knows my name. He’ll come after me, and he’ll kill the only person I love: my sweet, clueless brother Shellor. Nobody escapes from Locality Fourteen. There was only one way out that would protect us both: Enter the Queen Trials and become a star.
Now, I’m plunged into a competition with dozens of gorgeous women from all over the kingdom. My fame shelters my brother. My beauty protects me. Or is it my luck? Every woman in the arena wants to capture King Ergondy’s attention, but he only has eyes for me. How long will it be before my luck runs out?
I never wanted to join The Queen Trials.
Now, I must win them.

I picked up this book expecting light "rags-to-riches" fantasy, and it delivers that thrill beautifully. The contrast between the protagonist's poverty and the capital's extravagant luxury creates a quietly provocative undercurrent that invites reflection without being preachy. You can engage with the social commentary or simply enjoy the entertaining story.
What makes this novel special is its protagonist's approach. In a world designed to strip contestants of their humanity through senseless, violent trials, she leads with empathy, kindness, and integrity rather than hardening herself. Unlike other dystopian heroines who discover solidarity through hardship, Wright's character begins with these traits—they're what carry her through the brutality.
The moral architecture reveals itself gradually across the series. Each book in the series adds layers about the king's motivations, the world beyond the walls, and the deeper consequences of the trials. What starts as escapist entertainment slowly unfolds into thoughtful commentary for those who want it.
This is a brutal, fast-paced novel that transforms familiar genre tropes into something more humane and interesting. I highly recommend it both for readers wanting pure entertainment and those seeking depth beneath the surface.
Also, Wright's audiobook narration is excellent, and her other books are equally compelling!
Absolutly Fabulous!
