Two novellas set in the world of Kiera Cass's #1 New York Times bestselling Selection series are now available in print for the first time. The Prince and The Guard both offer captivating views into the hearts and minds of the two men fighting to win America Singer's love. This collection also features exclusive bonus content, including a sneak peek at The One, the eagerly anticipated third novel in the Selection series. Before America arrived at the palace to compete in the Selection, there was another girl in Prince Maxon's life. The Prince opens the week before the Selection begins and follows Maxon through the first day of the competition. Raised as a Six, Aspen Leger never dreamed that he would find himself living in the palace as a member of the royal guard. In The Guard, readers get an inside look at Aspen's life within the palace walls—and the truth about a guard's world that America will never know.

The Elite (The Selection #2)
Continues the same palace love triangle from America's side, with the competition's stakes and political violence making it tenser than the novellas.
The Selection (The Selection #1)
The novel that started it: same palace competition and two-boys-one-girl ache, told from America's side instead of the men's.
Alchemy of secrets
Another hidden-world chosen girl caught between charged choices, though modern-day magic replaces palace gowns and caste rules.
A Curse for True Love
Keeps the prince-versus-rival pull and forbidden longing, but trades dystopian caste politics for cursed fairy-tale magic and higher body count.
Crown Me Dead
Royal triangle and forbidden attraction again, only this one is explicitly sexual, grim, and morally filthy rather than chaste.
P.S. I Still Love You
Same clean teen love triangle and torn-between-two-boys ache, but set in ordinary high school life instead of a palace, lighter and funnier.
