America has captured the heart of Prince Maxon during the first part of the selection process. She’s pretty and stands up for herself and for what’s right. However, America is still conflicted between her growing feelings for Maxon and those she has harbored for years for Aspen, who is now a guard at the palace.
Now part of the elite six, America must continue to avoid pitfalls and the petty jealousies of some of the other girls. As she discover secrets about the founding of the kingdom of Illéa, she begins questioning both the history and the value of the caste system, and she begins thinking of ways to expose the brutal repression system set up by Maxon’s ancestor.
With rebels fighting in the palace and her family threatened, as well as her open conflict with Maxon’s father the king, the stakes are getting higher and deadlier. Can America survive her dilemmas and insecurities long enough to become the One?
