Description
Rowan Gray already knows the truth- she will only live until 18. Once she and the other immigrants in Vanelle have entered adulthood, they will be deemed a danger to society and will be forced to participate in The Korella Courses, a death camp in the disguise of corporal punishment, where participants take on a series of deadly courses to prove that they are worthy of their lives on earth. The only problem is that no one has ever survived. When bold, stubborn, ambitious Rowan, a common slave of Vanelle with a knick for knife throwing and a hidden passion for dance is taken to the courses, she's determined to go back home, even if it's deemed impossible. She has to save not herself, but her best friend Skye from severe danger. Although she's willing to do anything to save Skye, Rowan is not the type of person to make friends with. During her time in the courses, she's forced into situations with other people that somehow weaken her to the max and many other obstacles she didn't know would be a problem. Knowing she'll never be safe during her time there, whether it's on the course or in her holding cell, she's eager to take any measures to survive the next few weeks. In her favour, she's learned 1 valuable lesson throughout her life of slavery that will be her only chance of making it out alive... In the end, it's every man for themselves. *WARNING* please know that there is very brief mention of sexual abuse in this story, but not descriptive for me to mark this book as mature. You'll see that it is mandatory for character development later in the story. Don't worry, the scenes that the abuse is vaguely mentioned include no descriptions.
