In the Society, everything is perfect. Or so it seems. The Society chooses what you wear, what you eat, where you go and when, and most importantly, your Match. This is the person you are chosen to live the rest of your life with. The Society decides how many children you will have. Sometime in your 17th year, you will attend your Match Banquet. You stand up and your Match's face appears on the screen.
But, in Cassia's case, the screen remains black, and she immediately knows what this means. Her Match is somewhere in the room, and it is highly likely she already knows him well. They call out Xander's name. She and Xander have been best friends for as long as they can remember. They already know every detail about each other. The chip provided to everyone else with necessary information about their Match is unnecessary in their case.
Still, curiosity gets the better of Cassia, and when she gets home, she plugs it into her port. The face smiling back at her is the handsome and well-known face of her best friend. Then the screen goes blank. When it comes back on, a different face appears, and it is yet another guy from her province, Ky Markham. The chance that her Match is from her own province is almost impossible, and for her to have two Matches, both people she knows, is impossible.
Everything Cassia thought she ever knew is unraveling. Her grandfather gives her an illegal poem, and after that, she seems to be in the middle of everything against all the rules. The scariest thing is that she finds herself falling in love with the wrong person. The only question is: What will Cassia do?
