Do you yearn for protagonists whose journey has them deciding if they’ll protect their mental health or not?
When the government rewrites history, secrets become currency, and some secrets cost more than others.
Brenn Redoix keeps secrets. She always has. She keeps secrets for her best friend, her parents, and herself. Sharing these secrets would upend her life and destroy her world, so she holds them close.
As Brenn prepares for the exam that will launch her into adulthood, she expects nothing more than the usual written and practical tests. But when a government official is murdered, the Electorate votes in a new type of exam, making Brenn and her classmates the guinea pigs for its launch.
Split into teams and handed just enough information to navigate the dangerous no-man’s land forest past the country’s border, they’ll have to find the answer to a riddle and make it back first if they want to pass their exam. Brenn’s determined to help her team win, but as they travel, it becomes more and more clear the government is looking for someone with multiple element bonds…
…and the only person she knows with two elements, is her.
