I'm not sure how it all went wrong.
The concept was simple.
The Trials were made to test us. They were made to challenge our strengths; our bravery.
We were supposed to come out better.
Winning the Trials would make us Superior citizens.
It would bring us honor and demonstrate our loyalty to the Imperial Alliance. I knew exactly what I wanted.
Until I met him.
There was something about him. Something dark. If only I had known the danger it would put us in.
I thought I knew the risks.
But I never imagined the price we'd pay.

An
insightful look at the good and bad that exist within us, McKendry's
debut is a high-octane adventure that pushes the imagination to the
limit as it lays bare the nature of self-reliance, self-confidence, and
teamwork. Playing with the concepts of dark and light and how they
affect our lives in multiple forms, her novel is a complex coming of age
story that encapsulates the heroine's journey from student to leader. A
dark tale of love and revenge, From the Ashes is a powerful reminder to think for yourself instead of blindly following what you've been taught to believe.
