In a world transformed by catastrophe, humanity’s survival hinges on the Proving—a brutal series of tests to decide who earns the right to bear children and heal the earth. For nine teens, the stakes are everything.
Nova has everything to lose. Kian is determined to champion this new world. Dex discovers nothing is as it seems. And Wren, the rebel, wants no part of it—until survival becomes the only option.
As alliances shift, secrets unravel, and hearts are tested, the Proving turns from a fight for legacy into a fight for survival. In this harsh new reality, rules will be broken, and humanity’s future will be reshaped. For these teens, the Proving is more than a test—it’s the ultimate battle for hope and existence.
