Kiera Cass Libri

La Selezione che ha cambiato per sempre la vita di trentacinque ragazze sta per concludersi. E l'emozione e la confusione del primo giorno, quando America Singer ha percorso la scalinata del Palazzo, sono ormai solo un ricordo. Di certo America non avrebbe mai immaginato di arrivare così vicino alla corona, o al cuore del principe Maxon. Eppure per lei non è stato facile. Divisa tra i suoi sentimenti per Aspen, guardia a Palazzo e suo primo amore, e la crescente attrazione per Maxon, ha dovuto lottare con tutta se stessa per essere dov'è ora. A un passo dalla fine della Selezione, America però non può più permettersi incertezze. Deve scegliere. Prima che qualcuno lo faccia per lei.

Per trentacinque ragazze, le Eliminazioni rappresentano l'opportunità della vita. Grazie a esse, possono fuggire da una realtà cupa, da un mondo segnato da divisioni di casta, per approdare in un palazzo dove i loro desideri possono avverarsi. Da un luogo in cui fame e malattie sono all'ordine del giorno, a una terra di sete e gioielli. Lo scopo delle Eliminazioni è trovare una sposa per il fascinoso e attraente principe Maxon. Ogni ragazza sogna di diventare la Prescelta, tranne Ami Singer. Per Ami, le Eliminazioni sono un incubo, significano separarsi da Aspen, il suo amore segreto, e lasciare la sua casa. Tutto questo per partecipare a una spietata corsa verso una corona che non desidera affatto. Tuttavia, quando incontra Maxon, che incarna davvero il principe delle favole, Ami inizia a chiedersi se desideri davvero lasciare il palazzo. Forse la vita che ha sempre sognato non è affatto migliore di quella che non avrebbe mai voluto immaginare...

Trentacinque ragazze. Così era cominciata la Selezione. Un reality show che, per molte, rappresentava l'unica possibilità di trovare finalmente la via di uscita da un'esistenza di miseria. L'occasione di una vita. L'opportunità di sposare il principe Maxon e conquistare la corona. Ma ora, dopo le prime, durissime prove, a Palazzo sono rimaste soltanto sei aspiranti: l'Elite. America Singer è la favorita, eppure non è felice. Il suo cuore, infatti, è diviso tra l'amore per il regale e bellissimo Maxon e quello per il suo amico di sempre, Aspen, semplice guardia a Palazzo. E più America si avvicina al traguardo più è confusa. Maxon le sa regalare momenti di pura magia e romanticismo che la lasciano senza fiato. Con lui, America potrebbe vivere la favola che ha sempre desiderato. Ma è davvero ciò che vuole? Perché allora ogni volta che rivede Aspen si sente trascinare dalla nostalgia per la vita che avevano sognato insieme? America ha un disperato bisogno di tempo per riflettere. Mentre lei è tormentata dai dubbi, il resto dell'Elite però sa esattamente ciò che vuole e America rischia così di vedersi scivolare via dalle dita la possibilità di scegliere... Perché nel frattempo la Selezione continua, più feroce e spietata che mai.

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...

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.

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.
