N1  - 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.
