The Testing Trilogy
Malencia Vale, called Cia, is sixteen and about to graduate in the Five Lakes Colony, the future's version of the Great Lakes region. The whole colony is celebrating, and she hopes for one thing: a place in The Testing, the selection process that decides who moves on.
The first book follows that process, with danger, romance and terror waiting inside it. Cia's hope meets the reality of what the trials demand.
In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City, where her hometown sweetheart Tomas is also a student. The government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal Testing, but she remembers. When she tries to expose the murderous programs behind it, she puts herself and the people she loves at risk.
Graduation Day closes the trilogy with a final test that is the deadliest of all. Lives of promise may be cut short or fulfilled, and the future of the Commonwealth could be ruled by fear or by hope.
This dystopian young adult collection gathers all three novels and adds The Testing Guide, an e-only prequel to the first book.
