Description
Emerald - a girl with green eyes and a rarity after the horrific genocide that slaughtered millions. After the war, King Gideon rose in power. A lust-filled and greedy king that believed in the power of slavery.
At eighteen, women were required to come before King Gideon and his four sons, to offer themselves as a courtesan. The princes took only those they found most attractive and alluring. The rest were returned to their homes with a brand on their wrist proving they had been through the process and rejected. Ignoring the ritual was punishable by death.
Aria Stone had been kept hidden from the princes and the ceremony, because she was an Emerald. At twenty-three, the royal guards storm her home, murder her mother, and drag her to court. She must face the four princes.
A dystopian erotic adventure.

Advance Praise
"This story kept me captivated with its a dystopian world, wars have raged based on eye color. The United States in no more, it is now called The Kingdom of Brayleigh and controlled by King Gideon, an evil sadistic man who supports slavery, especially sexual slavery of women. He has four sons, August, Henry, James, and Aaron, who each is allowed twelve courtesans at a time. Once a month, all girls who have turned 18 are required to be presented for the King and Princes to be able to select and add to their harem. Girls who do not abide by the rules, and their parents face death. Prince James selects the 23-year-old green-eyed Aria to join his harem, but he is never forceful with her, actually showing her respect. Aria has been hiding for years because of her green eyes, which in this post-apocalyptical world makes her a target. This is the beginning of a unique series and I look forward to reading more. The characters were interesting, the dialog witty, the story creative. I love a story when good wins over evil." - Amazon Reviewer
