Every woman is watched, ranked, and evaluated until a man selects her or her time runs out. Maryn Veil has always known the rules. She just never expected to be chosen by \u003cem\u003ehim.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Elias Hale, the president's son and the most powerful bachelor in the nation, selects her for his Rite of Unity, Maryn finds herself in a world of televised trials, formal balls, and eleven women competing for the same future. The prize is safety. The cost is everything she thought she was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElias is not what she expected. Thoughtful, genuine, and desperate to be better than his father, he's the kind of man she could almost believe in. But someone else is watching from the shadows, and he sees Maryn far more clearly than she's comfortable with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the trials tighten and the stakes become impossible to ignore, Maryn begins to understand that surviving the rite and surviving the Covenant are not the same thing. And that the most dangerous thing she can do, in a system built on compliance, is want something for herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRite of Unity\u003c\/em\u003e is a dystopian slow-burn love triangle in a world where the wrong choice doesn't just cost you everything.
