Kiera Cass, author of the bestselling The Selection series, went on tour to promote her new YA novel, A Thousand Heartbeats (HarperTeen), to readers in Texas and Missouri last week. Her latest fantasy follows a princess, who after being kidnapped by the prince of enemy territory, must work with him to prevent war from tearing apart her kingdom.
