The monsters who wiped off the earth are no longer remembered. nobody alive, at least. Only fuzzy photos and crude sketches of the aliens have been viewed by Anne Blankenship. She only knows that after they invaded the earth one day, NewMerica was compelled to erect a force field around its population in order to shield them from the creatures that had already wiped out the rest of the planet. But for Anne, that was nearly a thousand years ago, and right now all that matters is passing her professional test so she can practise medicine like her father. But street riots divert her attention away from her main objective. Furthermore, she causes havoc by announcing "The Royal Lottery," a competition where any eligible young women can enter for a chance to attend the Crown Ball and meet the prince and win a position in it. Anne had no idea that these circumstances will enable her to overcome both physical and social limitations.
