　　17歲的亞美利加幸運入選，全家人的未來全都寄託於她。
　　選妃過程將實況轉播，全國人民屏息以待。
　　因為，王妃只有一位。
　　
　　華服珠寶、美宴佳餚，亞美利加彷彿躍上枝頭。

　　一輩子只有一次的競賽，沒有人願意乖乖照著遊戲規則走。
　　而女孩們不知道的是，看似最受歡迎的亞美利加其實藏了一件不能說的心事──
　　一個足以讓她人生從此垮台的大秘密……

　　For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape a rigid caste system, live in a palace, and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon. But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her, and competing for a crown she doesn’t want.

　　Then America meets Prince Maxon—and realizes that the life she’s always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined

　　背叛之吻 The Elite

　　從海選的35名競爭者，到如今只剩下6名菁英。這場贏得麥克森的愛、爭取妃冠的競選，正如火如荼地進行。然而，越是靠近后冠，亞美利加越不明白自己的心。與麥克森共度的每分每秒都彷彿童話故事，甜美的浪漫氛圍幾乎令她窒息。可是，每當看見皇宮衛兵艾斯本──她的初戀情人，她總會想起過去兩個人殷切企盼、一起計畫的未來……

　　在此同時，亞美利加偶然讀到的一本創國者日記，讓她遭受晴天霹靂般的震撼。為何節慶、歡笑會從這個國度消失？為何階級制度會從黑暗歷史中捲土重來？亞美利加企圖揭露真相，卻讓自己候選人的地位岌岌可危，皇宮更陷入叛軍攻堅的危機！

　　劇情峰迴路轉，亞美利加對麥克森與艾斯本的感情，也如同雲霄飛車般起起落落。同時愛上兩個男孩，算不算是自私的背叛？一個17歲的女孩，究竟能承擔多少責任？真正的奪妃之戰，現在才要展開──

　　Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection, and to win Prince Maxon’s heart. Now six girls remain, and the competition is fiercer than ever. But America Singer’s heart is torn. Is it Prince Maxon—and life as the queen—that she wants? Or is it still Aspen, her first love?

　　真命天女 The One

　　決戰時刻，誰是王妃？

　　選妃競賽給了亞美利加未曾想過的夢幻人生。從進入皇宮的第一天起，亞美利加的心在兩個男孩之間不斷拉扯──一次又一次為她化解危機的艾斯本，以及感覺越來越強烈的麥克森王子。同時，反叛軍的抗爭越加劇烈，皇宮裡危機四伏，而伊利亞國王似乎隱瞞了足以滅國的身世之謎……亞美利加該如何度過最後一關？為了自己的未來，她將全力一搏！

　　亞美利加的最終抉擇，不僅牽動著伊利亞王國的命運，也緊繫著兩顆為她跳動的心……

　　The Selection changed America Singer's life in ways she never could have imagined. Since she entered the competition to become the next princess of Illéa, America has struggled with her feelings for her first love, Aspen—and her growing attraction to Prince Maxon. Now she's made her choice . . . and she's prepared to fight for the future she wants.

　　外傳：王子與侍衛  The Prince & The Guard

　　王子：我該遵守傳統，跟一個適合當王妃的陌生女子結婚，不顧內心的渴望嗎？
　　侍衛：我該放手讓她得到幸福、還是為愛奮力一搏？

　　當選妃如火如荼地進行，王子麥克森與侍衛艾斯本的內心，卻充滿矛盾與掙扎：

　　麥克森身邊早有一位青梅竹馬的女孩，他以為她是唯一懂他的人，可是選妃在即，他該聽從自己的心聲，還是接受國家的安排？看見35位女孩為爭奪后冠而來，他的心境會有什麼改變？他對亞美利佳的第一印象如何？

　　艾斯本原本以為推開亞美利佳會更自由，但當他進入皇宮擔任侍衛，再次遇見她，卻發現自己根本放不下……他已不再是第七階級的艾斯本，已經有能力給她更好的生活，他是否該不計一切，重新贏回摯愛？
