Mira non e come le altre ragazze della Corte Scintillante. E sopravvissuta a una guerra, e stata cacciata dalla sua terra natale e scaraventata in un paese dove ha imparato a combattere contro le tante ingiustizie che la circondano. Nel Nuovo Mondo, Mira progetta di guadagnarsi il riscatto dal contratto di matrimonio e di essere finalmente libera. A bordo della nave, si propone come informatrice a un passeggero, il sardonico e distaccato Grant Elliott, che ha scoperto essere una spia della prestigiosa agenzia McGraw oltre che il suo lasciapassare per la liberta. Saltata la copertura, Grant non ha altra scelta se non ingaggiarla. Mira si applica giorno dopo giorno per imparare l’etichetta e le usanze che le permetteranno di guadagnarsi l’anonimato. Di notte indossa una maschera e scivola in citta, per combattere l’ingiustizia e la corruzione a modo suo, impressionando Grant con le sue straordinarie capacita e intuizioni sui fermenti di rivolta. Ma la cospirazione non e la sola cosa con cui dovranno combattere… Nessuno dei due puo ignorare l’attrazione che divampa tra loro, talmente intensa da minacciare di far crollare tutto quello per cui Mira ha lavorato con tanto impegno. Avendo la liberta finalmente a portata di mano, potra rischiare tutto per amore?

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER 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. Mira is not like the other Glittering Court girls. She is a war refugee, cast out of her home country and thrust into another, where she has learned to fight against the many injustices around her. For some, the Glittering Court offers a chance at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. But for Mira, it’s simply a means to an end. In the new world, she plans to earn off her marriage contract price, and finally be free. Mira pitches herself as an asset to one of the passengers on board the ship: the sardonic and aloof Grant Elliot, whom she’s discovered is a spy for the prestigious McGraw Agency–and her ticket to buying her freedom. His cover blown, Grant has little choice but to take her on. Mira applies herself by day, learning the etiquette and customs that will help to earn her anonymity. By night, she dons a mask and slips into the city, fighting injustice and corruption on her own terms–and impressing Grant with her extraordinary abilities and insights into a brewing rebellion. But the rebellion isn’t all they’re fighting… Neither of them can ignore the attraction burning between them–an attraction so powerful, it threatens to unravel everything Mira’s worked so hard for. With freedom finally within her grasp, can Mira risk it all for love?
