About this ebook

My mother once said that only the Beautiful Ones survive. This is because, in the war-torn Great South, beauty is a currency, and to have it means you will never have to worry about a thing.

​

The only problem is: beauty is judged by our capital’s Gentlewomen, and there is no guarantee that we will past their test.

​

Every year, the Gentlewomen of the capital leave the Glittering City to oversee the annual Procession. They travel settlement to settlement selecting girls, aged sixteen and older, to become Beautiful Ones. If chosen, we will be lifted into a life of luxury, but the cost is our free will.

Ratings and reviews

Interesting concept and well written however missing a bit of context/back story which may be covered in the subsequent books in the series.

Great story! Looking forward to Kelenda finding her way
