Of cages and crowns
(Book)

"Monroe Benson was born with the power to summon fire from her fingertips. She has spent her life hiding, but when the queen calls for the Culling, an age-old tradition where ten girls fight to the death in order to claim the crown, Monroe must battle for a throne she does not want. As the next king, Cohen can't question tradition. The Culling will make his choices- who will become his wife, who will rule beside him. When rebellion arises, what little control Cohen has over his future is threatened. Monroe sees a different Cohen than the rest of the world. She sees him as more than the crown. She sees a boy she could love. In turn, he sees her as more than a goddess-touched girl destined to lose her life. But when a betrayal threatens both their relationship and the monarchy, Monroe and Cohen face a choice that will change their lives...forever."-- Dust jacket flap.
