Sixteen-year-old Sage Greene was locked in a maximum-security asylum for the criminally insane after murdering nearly 200 civilians. It isn't her, though - it's the voices. There are two sides to Sage: the normal, self-conscious teenager, and the Voice lurking inside her head, the one that forced her to strike out and kill. Now, both parts of Sage are being sent into space, destined for a new rehabilitation program upon Mars, with a group of the most dangerous teenagers in America. Before they can reach the red planet, however, they are abducted by a strange alien race and taken away from their spaceship and everything they have ever known to compete in a sadistic set of physical and mental tests nicknamed the Trials. And so far, nobody has survived the Trials. * {Highest ranking: #5 in science fiction as of 9/3/17} [Comment threads contain spoilers at random.

It's been four years since the Rapture. All the good people in the world have already been taken up to Heaven, leaving only the Wicked behind. In this post apocalyptic world, the sun appears for only a few hours each day, with darkness dominating most of the time. In almost every major city in the United States, organized street gangs prowl the streets at night, murdering anyone who intrudes into their territory. In this harsh and unforgiving world, a small band of young adults must come together to stay alive, each haunted by a different past. On their journey through what remains of the Continental United States, they must overcome both supernatural threats like Demons, and much more human dangers like gangs and psychopaths. On the path to Redemption, many of them will fall short, while others will find a way to persevere and renew themselves. Before the remaining Evil is finally purged from the world forever, these survivors must rise above it all.
