From H.M. Waugh comes a fast-paced sci-fi adventure set on an alien planet, where survival, strategy, and teamwork are all put to the test under the gaze of a galaxy-wide audience. The publisher describes it as a quest to gain entry into an elite interplanetary academy.

Ammy Antares and the other competitors are thrown into the Surface Trials, a dangerous televised challenge where only the strongest, smartest, and most determined have a chance of making it through. As the pressure builds and the mission grows more intense, Ammy must rely on her instincts, resilience, and the people around her if she wants to survive. What starts as a competition quickly becomes something far bigger, with twists, danger, and secrets waiting beyond every step.
