When Venezuela loses its pageant crown to the unstoppable Philippines, the country's most powerful beauty empire searches for a weapon no judge can ignore.
Mariana Mari Falcón is a fiercely intelligent economics student from the hills of Petare. She has no interest in fame-only in securing the medical care her younger brother desperately needs. But when Quinta Miss Venezuela offers her a life-changing contract, Mari discovers the price of entry: her body, her image, her story, and her silence.
Trained to become Venezuela's Iron Queen, Mari is thrust into a glittering international battlefield where every smile is calculated, every sponsor has a demand, and every crown comes with a chain. To survive, she must turn the pageant machine against itself and prove that the woman beneath the spectacle cannot be owned.
The crown may belong to Venezuela.
But Mari belongs to no one.
The competition continues in Book 3: Miss Thailand.
