New York Times bestselling author Amy Ewing delivers a dark and riveting tale that ""will have fans of Oliver’s Delirium, Cass’s The Selection, and DeStefano’s Wither breathless.”*
The Jewel has many meanings: wealth, beauty, royalty. But for Violet, the Jewel has always meant servitude.
Born and raised in the Marsh, Violet is destined for the Jewel. She is trained as a surrogate for the elite and is bought by the Duchess of the Lake at auction. And she quickly learns that beneath the Jewel’s glittering façade lies the cruelty, backstabbing, and hidden violence that have become the royal way of life.
Violet must accept the ugly realities of her life...all while fighting for her survival. But before she can accept her fate, Violet meets a handsome boy who is also under the Duchess’s control. A forbidden love sparks.
But their illicit affair has consequences, which will cost them both more than they bargained for. And toeing the line between being calculating and rebellious, Violet must decide what, and who, she is willing to risk for her own freedom.

Boken var 5/5 tills kärleksstoryn flätades in. Den tyckte jag var platt, och det fanns ingen påtaglig kemi. Han var lite jobbig också, men kan inte lista ut varför jag tyckte det. Annars var boken GRYM! Så himla originell story och vackert, målande språk. en riktig bladvändare.

Jag rekommenderar den! Men jag förstod inte riktigt hur samhället var uppbyggt eller var hon var förrän en bit in.

All three books are amazing. I love the story and how secrets unfold throughout it. The trilogy is quite similar to “The hunger games”. A lot of information in the beginning so listen closely.
