The Dawn of the Cities

Violet has only one week to decide her future.

The Selection Ceremony provides her with the opportunity to select her husband and her profession for life. Being seventeen doesn't make such a heavy decision any easier. Why would she pick anyone other than Kane, the male she has been interested in for years?

But when things don't go the way Violet is expecting, everything spirals out of control. How can she trust a system that doesn't seem to care about her?

Join Violet as she braves the Selection Ceremony and all of the difficulties that come afterward.

The Dawn of the Cities takes place approximately eighteen years before In the Shadow of the Cities, and you can start reading with either book in the series.
