The Selection meets The Handmaid's Tale in this darkly
riveting debut filled with twists and turns, where all that
glitters may not be gold. The Jewel means wealth, the Jewel means beauty—but for
Violet, the Jewel means servitude. Born and raised in the
Marsh, Violet finds herself living in the Jewel as a servant
at the estate of the Duchess of the Lake. Addressed only by
her number—#197—Violet is quickly thrown into the royal way
of life. But behind its opulent and glittering facade, the
Jewel hides its cruel and brutal truth, filled with
violence, manipulation, and death. Violet must accept the ugly realities of her life . . . all
while trying to stay alive. But before she can accept her
fate, Violet meets a handsome boy who is also under the
Duchess's control, and a forbidden love erupts. But their
illicit affair has consequences, which will cost them both
more than they bargained for. And toeing the line between
being calculating and rebellious, Violet must decide what,
and who, she is willing to risk for her own freedom.
