The Jewel
Ewing Amy
The Jewel means wealth.
The Jewel means beauty. The Jewel means royalty. But for girls like
Violet, the Jewel means servitude. Not just any kind of servitude.
Violet, born and raised in the Marsh, has been trained as a surrogate
for the royalty—because in the Jewel the only thing more important than
opulence is offspring.
Purchased at the surrogacy auction by the
Duchess of the Lake and greeted with a slap to the face, Violet (now
known only as #197) quickly learns of the brutal truths that lie beneath
the Jewel’s glittering facade: the cruelty, backstabbing, and hidden
violence that have become the royal way of life.
Violet must
accept the ugly realities of her existence... and try to stay alive. But
then a forbidden romance erupts between Violet and a handsome gentleman
hired as a companion to the Duchess’s petulant niece. Though his
presence makes life in the Jewel a bit brighter, the consequences of
their illicit relationship will cost them both more than they bargained
for.
