The Testing Trilogy

Sixteen-year-old Malencia “Cia” Vale has dreamed of being chosen for the prestigious United Commonwealth leadership program. But when her selection arrives, so does a chilling warning from her father: trust no one. In The Testing, passing means far more than academic brilliance—it demands survival. Shipped to Tosu City, Cia enters a lethal competition where deadly traps, cutthroat candidates, and psychological torment await. To protect her future and the boy she loves, Cia must navigate a web of terror where failure is fatal.

Having survived the horrors of the selection trials, Cia Vale is now a University freshman in Tosu City. Although the government attempted to erase her memories, Cia secretly knows the brutal truth behind the regime’s selection process. In Independent Study, she faces a hazardous double life, navigating cutthroat coursework while plotting to expose a murderous conspiracy. Surrounded by hidden surveillance and untrustworthy allies, Cia must rely on her wits—because one misstep will trigger a deadly consequence for everyone she loves.

The United Commonwealth teeters on the brink of all-out civil war, and Cia Vale is determined to tear down the corrupt Testing program once and for all. In Graduation Day, Cia steps into the heart of high-stakes political intrigue as rebel factions maneuver against the ruthless government. Leading a rebellion means choosing between impossible sacrifices and gambling on the loyalty of deadly classmates. With danger tightening from every side, Cia must risk everything she loves to spark a revolution before time runs out.
