The Selection meets Reign in this dazzling trilogy of interwoven novels about three girls on a quest for freedom and true love from #1 internationally bestselling author Richelle Mead.
"Brilliant and original, Mead’s new series starts off with a bang and will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very end." —School Library Journal
For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. To high-born Adelaide, whose wealthy family is forcing her into a loveless marriage, the Glittering Court represents something else: the chance to chart her own destiny, and adventure in an unspoiled, prosperous new land across the sea.
After a chance meeting with the dazzling Cedric Thorn, Adelaide poses as a servant to join the crop of impoverished girls he promises to transform into proper ladies. But her familiarity with upper class life comes with a price: she must hide her identity from her new friends, mysterious refugee Mira and fiery former laundress Tamsin, and most importantly, from Cedric himself—even though she’s falling in love with him.
Everything begins to crumble when Cedric discovers Adelaide’s ruse, and she catches the eye of a powerful young governor, who wants her for a wife. She didn’t leave the gilded cage of her old life behind just to become someone else's property. But nothing is as daunting—or as wonderful—as the potent, forbidden attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. One that, if acted on, would make them both outcasts in a wild, dangerous, uncharted world, and possibly lead them to their deaths.
Richelle Mead has written over twenty-five novels for teens and adults. She is the author of the international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series and its spinoff series, Bloodlines. Her recent standalone novel, Soundless, draws upon Chinese mythology and history, and her forthcoming series, The Glittering Court, follows the adventures of girls destined for arranged marriages in a fantasy world inspired by colonial America. A lifelong reader, Richelle has always had a particular fascination with mythology and folklore. When she can actually tear herself away from books (either reading or writing them), she enjoys bad reality TV, traveling, trying interesting cocktails, and shopping for dresses to wear on tour. She is a self-professed coffee addict, works in her pajamas, and has a passion for all things wacky and humorous. Originally from Michigan, Richelle now lives in Seattle, Washington, where she is hard at work on her next novel.
1 winner will receive a hardcover of THE GLITTERING COURT & a $25 Sephora Gift Card. US Only.
Ends on April 15th at Midnight EST!

"The Selection meets Reign" <3 OMG, cuvintele astea au fost de ajuns ca sa imi atraga atentia si sa trec cartea pe lista..dar bineinteles, pana va ajunge sa fiu publicata si la noi !!! adica sper sa apara si in romana :))
nu mai spun ca o ador pe Richelle, e una dintre scriitoarele mele preferate
Ma oftic asa de tare cand citesc descrierile unor carti super ce nu au aparut inca si in Ro.
La fel ma simt si acum, referitor la aceasta carte. :(
poate o sa apara, Richelle are inca destui fani in Romania (zic eu) :D
dar acum depinde si de edituri...
Suna destul de interesanta descrierea!
Am citit de la Rochelle doar primul volum din Academia vampirilor si a fost destul de ok!Desi toata lumea lauda seria asta,eu una nu o consider atât de minunata!Poate daca voi citi si continuarea o sa-mi schimb percepția!
Anyway..chiar sper sa se traducă si la noi cartea asta!
The cover is great! This sounds like a good story with good characters!
