About this listen
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.

Story
Rosie collapsed on the Seattle sidewalk, alone, cold, and drenched in seawater. Her head ached. Nothing seemed right. And her memory was little more than a fuzzy feeling of foreboding. She knows two things…One: She’s on an important mission. Two: Never mix with the locals. Injured and weary, Rosie knows that if she doesn’t get help, she may not be able to piece together the reason she's in 2018. Her gut says it’s vital. But if she trusts anyone, it could forever alter the timeline. When tough, street-smart Carlos takes her under his wing…the adventure begins.

They say monsters are made. I was born one. With an angelic face and a cursed talent, I eat magic and ask for seconds. When I pass through the land, flowers wither, earth scorches, and colors bleed out—all at the command of my father, the God of Ruin. I escaped his prison, only to stumble upon a dangerous school ruled by five heirs. Girls fight to fall into their laps, even though they’re all hot mess assholes.

Once in a generation, the young women of the Unified Territories of Palias are given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to become a princess. It’s an honor Kaia Luvaryan has no interest in competing for. In the aftermath of the Great War, huge swaths of what was once the United States of America are uninhabitable. Every day is a struggle to survive. But Kaia doesn’t want to leave her family or her best friend Finn behind. Life in her home territory of Hilora is hard, but at least it’s hers. Her life. Her choice. Until, suddenly, it’s not anymore.

It should have been an easy task for a skilled mercenary like Rybet Waise. Simply break into the royal palace, and rescue her friend from the executioner’s block. But when Rybet accidentally qualifies for the Trials, she finds herself with little choice but to see them through. A thin veil of etiquette, elegance, and glamour hides the true nature of the Trials. Behind closed doors, they are brutal and bloody, and to fail means to forfeit her life. Thrust into the limelight and forced to compete with the Kingdom’s elite sweethearts, unlikely allies emerge and bonds are formed.

It should have been an easy task for a skilled mercenary like Rybet Waise. Simply break into the royal palace, and rescue her friend from the executioner’s block. But when Rybet accidentally qualifies for the Trials, she finds herself with little choice but to see them through. A thin veil of etiquette, elegance, and glamour hides the true nature of the Trials. Behind closed doors, they are brutal and bloody, and to fail means to forfeit her life. Thrust into the limelight and forced to compete with the Kingdom’s elite sweethearts, unlikely allies emerge and bonds are formed.

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!
