The Testing Books in Order

Cia Vale is selected for an elite program that promises university education and a role rebuilding the United Commonwealth. Her father's warning and increasingly deadly challenges force her to question whom she can trust, including childhood friend Tomas.

Ten-year-old Cia Vale watches her high-achieving brother Zeen hope for selection in the Testing. Torn between wanting his success and fearing his departure, she begins considering her own future in the war-damaged United Commonwealth.

As the United Commonwealth approaches civil war, Testing survivor Cia Vale vows to dismantle its brutal selection system. Leading others into a struggle against the government, she must judge classmates' loyalties while risking the people she loves.

Now a university freshman, Cia Vale retains memories of the Testing despite the government's attempts to erase them. Her effort to expose its deadly programs endangers Tomas and other loved ones while new academic challenges test her resolve.
