THE KINGDOM

Welcome to the Kingdom, where "happily ever after" is not just a promise, but a rule: the park provides the most sophisticated immersive fantasy experience of all time, home to an enormous diversity of bioengineered animals, including formerly extinct species, now resurrected, amazing VR experiences, and of course, the twelve princesses who make it the place we all want it to be: Beautiful. Kind. Gracious. Forever.

But all fairytales must come to an end, and when princess Ana is accused of committing murder within the park, we begin to see the cracks under the Kingdom's surface... Told through court testimony, submitted evidence, reported recollections, interrogations, and lushly-realized flashbacks to Ana's life in the Kingdom, this YA novel can be described as "Westworld" meets "Serial," and delivers thrills and twists to match.
