This dystopian novel takes place after the Seven Stages War, which has left the planet useless and charred. The planet must be rebuilt by the next generation, but to be a part of the rebuilding you must pass The Testing in order to get a chance at a college education.
Cia wants nothing more than to be chosen as a Testing candidate. She is chosen, and looks forward to being a part of the future of her planet. Just before her departure, her father warns her that she can trust no one.
Can Cia trust her childhood friend Tomas? Will she survive the difficult, and sometimes deadly Testing? Will Cia have to choose between her life and her love?
Joelle Charbonneau does a wonderful job of creating this new world for us. Cia is a beautiful heroine that you will fall in love with immediately. This book is amazing, and you will find the themes of survival, friendship, and love abundant throughout the book.
