YASelection series.
As a scheme to distract a discontented post-caste populace, future ruler Eadlyn (daughter of America, the protagonist from the previous three books) begrudgingly agrees to participate in a husband-finding Selection. Eadlyn's plan to thwart the historic matchmaking process backfires as she befriends the candidates and opens up. Discrimination issues are overshadowed as the self-determined girl learns she must loosen up to become a well-rounded leader.
