Elected  
Jan. 4, 2013
Author:  Rori Shay
Category:  Children's: Young Adult
Description:  Aloy is a girl, but no one can know that. If they did she would be executed and the East Country would fall into civil war. Her family is the Elected, chosen generations ago to lead, and she is the last of the line. So Aloy must pretend to be male and uphold East Country's laws, the Accords, as strictly as her father did. To stray from them could spell disaster. After an environmental crisis nearly destroyed the Earth life is fragile, and the Accords are humanity's survival strategy.

In two weeks Aloy will be eighteen and come into office. She will have to marry a woman but she's falling in love with the boy who knows her secret. Even though he may have ties to the rebellious Technology Faction that wants her dead. As her reign starts turmoil grows within East Country, and cryptic threats come from beyond their borders. Aloy knows she must protect her people but doesn't know how. Or if she can keep herself alive long enough to try.

Elected is the first in a three-part series.
