About Crown Jewels
Every year, a lottery is held to select sixty teens to be given the honor of becoming Jewels and dedicating their lives to the king. Being a Jewel isn't all parades and looking pretty, though. The Kingdom of Banne sits on the edge of revolution and this newest class will be called to battle too soon. Onyx spent her life in service to the elemental spirit, Isa, before learning she was to become a Jewel and must now find a way to merge her peaceful heart with the violence of a soldier. She isn't the only unlikely Jewel, though; the royal prince, third in line for the crown and not seen in a decade, walks among them. It's a good thing no one recognizes him after so long because the looming revolution has painted a target on his back just as surely as it has his father. It will take everything Isa's gentle child and the hidden prince have to become a Jewel with both body and soul intact.
