The Testing #1
It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire
Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can
think about—hope for—is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a
United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new
graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war
civilization. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about
his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire
warnings (”Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far
away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer
terror—await.
