The Exemption Trials (The Dinas Chronicles Book 1)

It's the year 2159 and all of humanity has been wiped out by severe pollution and radiation - all except the city of Dinas. Dinas is a city in the clouds - 350 miles up in the clouds, to be exact. It's divided into two parts: Dimora, where the Affluent - rich - live, and Profugo, where the Destitute - poor - live.

Jericho was born into the life of an Affluent, but he was sent to Profugo to live as a Destitute when both his parents died. He met Deveraux after a week of living alone and the two of them joined together to survive.

Deveraux is a Destitute. His mother died giving birth to him and eight years later his father committed suicide. After a year of being alone, he found Jericho on the streets and joined with him to survive.

Xyra is an Affluent. She's always gotten anything she wanted. Anything, except freedom.

Now, all of them seventeen year old convicts, get the worst news of their lives: they're to be a part of the Exemption Trials, a week of deadly tests and obstacles designed to see if they are worthy of being let back into society. However, the trials are also designed for them to fail, and only one person has ever made it out alive.
With the help of the nine other convicts selected to be in the trials, can Jericho, Deveraux, and Xyra beat the odds and make it to freedom, or will they perish like so many others before them?
