She's accepted into Ardent, the most daring and audacious Quadrant. The Quadrant that just so happens to be surviving off the bloodshed of innocent Graduates in a test known as The Attrition. In Ardent, Tabitha is forced to learn how to fight with and without a weapon, something she's fearful of doing. Her trainers in Ardent push her to the point where she's determined to know why they are training the Graduates this way. She is even willing to break the rules to find out what everyone's hiding from her. She discovers something she wished she never had. In the Ardent test, The Attrition, Tabitha is forced to kill and murder to survive. She questions everything she knows about the four Quadrants, and everyone around her. Who can she trust? Can she even trust herself? What other lies have been fed to her by her father and the government? The answers Tabitha finds uproot more problems in the four Quadrants than she ever imagined and she's forced to make a choice-comply and keep her family safe or rebel and threaten the existence of the only world she's known.

Book excerpt: (ages 9 - 12) This collection of stories and interviews is the result of a simple question: "Why won't you start smoking?" Readers won't feel like they are being preached to, because the anti-tobacco message is being delivered by kids just like them. The stories, based on life experiences and observations, are diverse, personal, and smart – sometimes painful, sometimes funny. The ten reasons include the poor health of parents who smoke, addiction, self-image, the environment, and relationships. Our young contributors also bring up issues that kids might not consider, such as how cigarettes affect one's personal appearance, athletic performance, and bank account. The media's portrayal of smoking and the unscrupulous marketing tactics used by tobacco companies are also discussed. The stories are complemented by edgy illustrations, examples of anti-tobacco activism, quotes from nonsmoking celebrities, a foreword by Christy Turlington, important health facts, "instant history facts," and other sidebars which present the ugly truth about cigarettes.
