About the book
The Surface Trials (The Surface Trials)
Starquest Academy only admits the smartest and most daring kids in the galaxy—the ones who win the Surface Trials. Broadcast to millions, this cutthroat competition brings squads of academy hopefuls to an uninhabited planet where they have three days to solve the clues and reach the finish line.
For Amethyst Antares, Starquest Academy offers an escape. After her planet’s radiation gave some people dangerous mental powers, her home world feels like a prison, and admission to the academy is one of the few ways out. For Rian—the uber-famous and expertly-disguised heir to the universe’s two greatest dynasties—failure at the Surface Trials is absolutely not an option. And Deneb? Well, he’s an outlier.
But this year, not everything goes to plan, and Amethyst and her squad find themselves playing for more than Starquest admission. To survive, they’ll have to outsmart carnivorous creatures, share dangerous secrets, maintain trust, and embrace the most shocking truth in the galaxy.
