“Sparkles with beauty, intrigue, and romance.”—Kiera Cass, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Selection series
Selah has waited her whole life for a happily ever after. As the only daughter of the leader of Potomac, she knows her duty is to find the perfect match.
But after an excruciatingly public rejection, Selah’s stepmother suggests an unthinkable solution: Selah must set sail across the Atlantic to visit a series of potential suitors—and if she doesn’t come home engaged, she shouldn’t come home at all.
From the gardens of England to the fjords of Norge, Selah’s quest will be the journey of a lifetime. But her stepmother’s schemes aren’t the only secrets hiding belowdecks…and the stakes of her voyage may be higher than any happy ending.
Lush landscapes, dazzling romance, and captivating intrigue await in this stunning alternate historical YA debut—perfect for fans of The Selection or Caraval.

“Emily Rankin provides an exquisite performance of this alternate-history fantasy peppered with fairy tales…Several chapters begin with a quote from a popular fairy tale in its original language, and Rankin’s delivery of multiple languages is immaculate. Rankin uses a full vocal range of high to low tones, varying levels of hoarseness, and multiple accents to capture a wide cast of characters and different love interests. Her voice adds an irresistible chemistry that will leave listeners wanting more. A must-listen. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
