The Betrothed by Kiera Cass

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the bestselling author of the Selection series! 

Kiera Cass is back with a glittering royal romance sure to captivate her legion of loyal readers and lovers of courtly intrigue alike.

A would-be queen. A handsome young king. A perfect match...or is it?

When King Jameson declares his love for Lady Hollis Brite, Hollis is shocked--and thrilled. After all, she's grown up at Keresken Castle, vying for the king's attention alongside other daughters of the nobility. Capturing his heart is a dream come true.

But Hollis soon realizes that falling in love with a king and being crowned queen may not be the happily ever after she thought it would be. And when she meets a commoner with the mysterious power to see right into her heart, she finds that the future she really wants is one that she never thought to imagine.

The crown is within her grasp, but a surprising new love could change everything. What happens when the life you've always wanted isn't the one you need?

• A Gilded Cage: Hollis has everything a girl could dream of--a king's love, beautiful gowns, and a future as queen. But palace life comes with rules she never expected and a loneliness she can't escape.
• Forbidden Love: Silas is a refugee from an enemy kingdom, a commoner with no title. He's the one person Hollis should stay away from, and the only one who truly sees her for who she is.
• Courtly Intrigue: Vying for the king's attention is a dangerous game. With jealous nobles and political rivals watching her every move, one misstep could cost Hollis everything.
• Choosing Your Own Path: Marrying King Jameson means security and a place in history. Following her heart means giving it all up for a future she has to build herself. The choice is hers alone.
