Cuando formas parte de la realeza, todo el país opina sobre cómo debes vestir, cómo debes actuar y a quién deberías amar.
Cuando quieres formar parte de la realeza, harás todo para captar esa atención.
El poder es embriagador, como el primer amor puede dejarte sin aliento. Desde su nacimiento, la princesa Beatrice lo posee. La princesa Samantha nació con menos. Algunos, como Nina González, se sienten atraídos por él. Otros se abrirán camino para conseguirlo. Sí, estamos pensando en tí, Daphne Deighton.
Mientras América intenta acostumbrarse a ver a una mujer en el trono... Beatrice lidia con todo lo que perdió cuando ganó la corona; Samantha está ocupada haciendo honor a su fama de princesa fiestera; Nina intenta evitar el palacio y al príncipe Jefferson a toda costa, y un peligroso secreto amenaza los planes que Daphne ha trazado para dar caza al príncipe Jefferson.
CORAZONES ROTOS. TRAICIONES. UNA BODA REAL.
CUANDO AMÉRICA GANÓ LA GUERRA DE LA INDEPENDENCIA, EL PUEBLO LE OFRECIÓ LA CORONA A GEORGE WASHINGTON.
SIGLOS MÁS TARDE, SUS DESCENDIENTES SIGUEN OCUPANDO EL TRONO...
La princesa Beatrice siempre ha aceptado su deber, pero empieza a acusar la presión a medida que se acerca el día de convertirse en la primera soberana de Estados Unidos. A nadie le importa Samantha, la princesa sustituta, salvo cuando incumple las normas; así que ella tampoco se interesa por nada...
De haber nacido una generación antes, Jefferson, el gemelo de Samantha, hubiera sido el primero en la línea sucesoria, pero las nuevas leyes lo relegan al tercer lugar. Casi todo el país adora al príncipe, pero son dos chicas, muy distintas entre sí, quienes compiten por ganarse su corazón.
EL PODER. EL DEBER. EL DRAMA. LA CORONA.
Un paso en falso puede suponer una caída mortal.
Tras el terrible incidente que marcó el final de fiesta más amargo de sus vidas, los habitantes de la supertorre de mil plantas que se alza en Nueva York luchan por volver a la normalidad. Pero no es fácil. A pesar de disfrutar de tecnología punta y lujo futurista, un grupo de jóvenes ocultan secretos que harán que la torre más alta jamás construida se tambalee.
Además, una chica misteriosa acaba de llegar a la ciudad dispuesta a causar el mayor revuelo posible. Y sabe exactamente por dónde empezar.
Y, por si eso fuera poco, sin que nadie sospeche nada, alguien está vigilando... Alguien cuya obsesión es la venganza.
Sobrevivir en la cima del mundo tiene un precio que no todos están dispuestos a pagar.
Año 2118, una supertorre se alza sobre el skyline de Nueva York. Es una sociedad en sí misma, en la que las plantas superiores están habitadas por familias inmensamente ricas, mientras que en las inferiores subsisten las clases más bajas.
La caída de una chica desde lo más alto amenazará con sacar a la luz los secretos de sus habitantes: mentiras, excesos, traición, amores prohibidos... que harán temblar los mismos cimientos de la torre.
Entre el lujo sofisticado y la tecnología más avanzada, un grupo de jóvenes tendrá que encontrar su lugar en lo más alto.
Cuando lo tienes todo, puedes perderlo todo.
Bienvenidos de nuevo a la ciudad de Nueva York, en el año 2119. En la glamurosa supertorre de mil plantas que se alza en el corazón de Manhattan, millones de personas llevan una vida protagonizada por los escándalos: amores prohibidos, antiguas venganzas, sueños imposibles...
Leda, Watt, Rylin, Avery y Calliope pugnan por evitar que salgan a la luz sus mayores secretos. Unos secretos que amenazan con destruirlo todo y empujar sus idílicas existencias al vacío.

Romance, glamour, ambition and power . . . meet the Washingtons - the most scandalous royal family ever!
HRH Princess Samantha has always been a royal rebel. She's the spare not the heir, so no one minds too much who she dates or how hard she parties. It helps that her sister, Princess Beatrice, is literally perfect. She's demure, sweet and beautiful, and she knows that the crown always comes first - no matter what her heart might really want.
But they're not the only ones with their eye on the throne. Daphne Deighton might be 'newly noble' but she won Prince Jefferson's heart once, and she'll do anything to get back into the court's favour - and his bed. If only she knew that her competition was a common nobody - plain little Nina Gonzalez, the daughter of the king's secretary.
Together these four young women must navigate the drama, gossip, scheming and sizzling romance of the most glorious court in the world. They'll either be crowned in glory - or end up as shockingly royal disasters.
