Queen Trials

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.

Thrown into the Wishing Well, Clio must find three keys while fighting to stay alive in a nine-square grid of fear. Whether she wins or loses the round, her wish will be read aloud. Clio knows that when King Ergondy learns what she wished for, if she holds three keys, her wish will have to be granted. But she also knows that if she loses, a swift execution will be the most merciful outcome she could receive. And King Ergondy is not known for his mercy.

All Princess Clio has wanted since she joined The Queen Trials was to find a way out of the competition before the killing round began. But when King Ergondy grants her wish, Clio learns more about The Forever War than she bargained for.With this new knowledge that she shouldn't have, can she live with herself if she leaves The Trials?Either way, the Rotunda wants her dead.
