A PÁRVÁLASZTÓ KEZDETEKOR A LÁNYOK MÉG 35-EN VOLTAK. DE KÖZÜLÜK CSAK 1 NYERHET. Eljött az idő, hogy a korona végre a győztes fejére kerüljön. Amikor beválogatták a Párválasztóba, America még csak nem is álmodott arról, hogy valaha eljuthat a korona közelébe – vagy Maxon herceg szívéhez. Ahogy azonban egyre közeleg a versengés vége, és a palota falain túl fokozódik a fenyegető veszély, America rádöbben arra, hogy mennyi mindent veszíthet – és hogy milyen keményen kell küzdenie a vágyott jövőért. „Egyik kezem Maxonéban pihent, arcomat a mellkasára fektettem. Ő a fejem tetején nyugtatta az állát, így forogtunk az eső zenéjére. Abban a pillanatban biztosra vettem, hogy van közös jövőnk. Ha ilyen érzés, amikor együtt vagyunk, akkor valahogy rá fogunk találni az útra, amely visszavezet bennünket egymáshoz.” Kiera Cass a New York Times listavezető bestseller írója, valamint a magánkiadásban megjelent The Siren című fantasyregény szerzője. A Radford University diákja volt, jelenleg családjával a virginiai Blacksburgben él. Kiera életében megközelítőleg tizennégy fiút csókolt meg. Egyikük sem volt herceg.

De selectie heeft het leven van 35 meisjes voorgoed veranderd. En nu is de tijd aangebroken dat er een winnaar wordt gekozen. America had nooit durven hopen dat ze kans maakte op de kroon of om het hart van prins Maxon te kunnen veroveren. Maar nu de competitie haar einde nadert en de bedreigingen van buiten de paleismuren steeds gewelddadiger worden, realiseert America zich hoeveel ze heeft te verliezen en hoe hard ze moet vechten voor de toekomst die ze wil.

A Seleção mudou a vida de trinta e cinco garotas para sempre. Agora, escolhas precisam ser feitas. America Singer nunca sonhou em chegar tão perto da coroa ou do coração do príncipe Maxon. Mas com a competição se aproximando do fim e as revoltas fora do palácio crescendo, America percebe o quanto ela tem a perder - e as dificuldades que terá de enfrentar para lutar pelo futuro que deseja.

A PALOTÁBA 35 LÁNY ÉRKEZETT. CSAK HATAN MARADTAK. A Párválasztót 35 lány kezdte meg. Mostanra azonban már csak az Elitnek nevezett csoport maradt versenyben Maxon herceg szerelméért, s a harc ádázabb, mint valaha. Minél közelebb kerül America a koronához, annál jobban meg kell szenvednie azért, hogy végre megtudja, kihez húz valójában a szíve. Minden Maxonnal töltött pillanat olyan, akár egy tündérmese, csupa lélegzetelállító, csillogó romantikus kaland. De ha a palotában meglátja őrt állni első szerelmét, Aspent, újra hatalmába keríti a vágyakozás az élet után, amit még közösen terveztek el. Americának rettentően szüksége lenne egy kis időre. Míg azonban ő a kétféle jövő lehetősége között vergődik, az Elit tagjai pontosan tudják, hogy mit is akarnak – s egyre valószínűtlenebbnek tűnik, hogy Americának lehetősége nyílik választani… „Mintha az Éhezők viadala (leszámítva a véres jeleneteket) és a Nagy Ő (leszámítva a véres jeleneteket) elegye lenne. Cass ügyesen szítja America és Maxon vágyát, de közben nem hagyja kialudni a lány első, tiltott szerelmének parazsát sem." – Publishers Weekly

Twintig jaar zijn verstreken sinds America Singer en prins Maxon verliefd werden. Nu is hun dochter Eadlyn de eerste prinses die haar eigen Selectie houdt. Eadlyn had niet gedacht dat ze een partner zou vinden tussen de 35 kandidaten, laat staan haar ware liefde. Maar soms word je verrast door je eigen hart, en nu moet Eadlyn een nog moeilijker en belangrijker keuze maken dan ze ooit voor mogelijk had gehouden.

In De koningin & de favoriet zijn twee novelles in de populaire Selection-serie gebundeld. Kiera Cass neemt de lezer weer mee naar de fascinerende wereld van De selectie en beschrijft de ervaringen van twee geliefde personages uit de serie. Voordat America's verhaal begon, kwam een ander meisje naar het paleis om te strijden om de hand van een andere prins. In De koningin volgen we prins Maxons moeder, Amberly. Marlee Tames deed mee aan de Selectie om prins Maxons hart te winnen, maar haar eigen hart had andere ideeën. De favoriet vertelt het verhaal van de geheime liefde tussen Marlee en lijfwacht Carter.

Twintig jaar geleden deed America Singer mee aan de Selectie en wist ze prins Maxons hart te veroveren. Nu is het de beurt aan prinses Eadlyn om haar eigen Selectie te houden. Eadlyn verwacht niet dat het voor haar even sprookjesachtig zal zijn als het liefdesverhaal van haar ouders. Maar als de strijd om haar hart losbarst, zou ze er wel eens achter kunnen komen dat haar eigen geluk niet zo ver weg is als ze altijd dacht.

Sono passati vent'anni da quando America Singer ha partecipato alla Selezione e conquistato il cuore del principe Maxon. Ora, nel regno di Illéa, è tempo di dare inizio a una nuova competizione. Il Paese infatti è in difficoltà: il popolo è inquieto e infelice, la tensione cresce ogni giorno e la situazione è sempre più precaria. Solo una Selezione potrebbe risollevare gli animi dei sudditi e alleggerire l'atmosfera. E questa volta toccherà alla futura erede al trono, Eadlyn, scegliere tra i trentacinque pretendenti arrivati a Palazzo. Il re e la regina però non hanno fatto i conti con il carattere indipendente e determinato della giovane principessa, che non ha alcuna intenzione di assecondare questa farsa e lasciare decidere agli altri della sua vita. L'idea che la seleziona possa regalarle la stessa favola d'amore dei suoi genitori non la sfiora nemmeno. Ma scoprirà presto che il suo lieto fine non è poi così impossibile come aveva pensato.

Nel regno di Illéa è iniziata una nuova era. E una nuova competizione. A vent’anni di distanza dall’inizio dell’amore tra America Singer e il principe Maxon, infatti, è la loro primogenita, Eadlyn, a doversi confrontare con i trentacinque pretendenti arrivati a Palazzo per conquistarla. Ora, anche per lei, è arrivato il momento di una scelta. La più difficile e la più importante. E non ci potrebbe essere periodo peggiore per farla. Perché a Palazzo tutti sono sconvolti per i recenti eventi che hanno interessato la famiglia reale,e regna un inquietante silenzio. Eadlyn però sa di non poter rallentare: per il suo bene e quello della sua famiglia, deve portare a termine la Selezione. Adesso. Nonostante tutto. Anche se ai suoi occhi non ha alcun senso. La sua unica e ultima speranza è che, alla fine, in qualche inspiegabile modo, dovere e amore vengano a coincidere. Il tempo stringe, ma il cuore ha sempre un modo tutto suo di sorprenderci...
