A DystopianFiction YoungAdult series written by Joelle Charbonneau. In it, sixteen-year-old DaddysGirl Malencia "Cia" Vale, from destitute Five Lakes Colony, is selected along with three other students to undergo testing to become a university student in Tosu City. This is all Cia has dreamed of for years, so why isn't her father more excited for her?

=Tropes=
* AcademicAlphaBitch: Cia's roommate Ryme is willing to poison other candidates if it means increasing her chances of passing the Testing.
* AngstySurvivingTwin: Though he hides it well, Will does not take the loss of his twin brother, Gill, well.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Not only is Cia the youngest in her family, she is also at least a year younger than most of the other Testing candidates, having started a year earlier than required.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoilers:Zandri and Will]] both betray Cia and Thomas during the fourth stage of the Testing. [[spoiler:Zandri]] pays for her betrayal with her life, but [[spoiler:Will]] survives to go on to the University and completely forgets his betrayal.
* DaddysGirl: Cia is noticeably closer to her father than to her mother.
* DrivenToSuicide: Ryme kills herself after completing the first round of Testing after she finds out that Cia actually finished the Reading and Literature section with time to spare.
* OutnumberedSibling: Cia is the only girl among her 5 siblings, as well as the youngest.
* RapunzelHair: Although Cia hates it, and wishes her mother would allow her to cut it into a more practical style.
* TheSmartGuy: Only the smartest students from each colony are selected for the Testing.
