A magical princess. A kingdom in danger. A fight to the death for the throne. Princess Aurora never thought she'd have to rule Ryferia. That was her brother's job, until his brutal murder at the hands of their uncle. She knows the law. A marriage is her only chance to take the throne, and to free her people from Artemis's evil rule. Aurora gambles for her kingdom, invoking the right to hold a deadly marriage trial. As the most gifted-and ruthless-princes and lords battle to the death for her hand, Aurora falls under the spell of two mysterious suitors. Both are determined to win her hand and her kingdom for their own ends. But the princess has allies, as well as a secret power long outlawed in her kingdom... Will Aurora find true love and save Ryferia or will the trial's winner destroy them all? Queen of Extinction is a fresh take on the classic Sleeping Beauty tale. The Selection meets The Hunger Games.

brother. She was sure that Artemis had killed him to become king, and as she never considered the throne, it was high time that she showed her people that she was made of sterner stuff! This book contains magical creatures and so many one can't not name them all, but magic has been banned in Ryferia. I MUST read the next book!!
