EVERY SURVIVAL GAME HAS RULES
But in a world left in ruins, the rules no longer apply. Twenty-one-year-old Jada never thought she'd have to fight to live, let alone navigate a deadly wasteland where allies can become enemies in an instant.
WHEN TRUST BECOMES A WEAPON
After the Republic throws her into the middle of a struggling group of strangers, Jada has to rely on her wits to stay alive. Erik, the cold and deadly survivor. Lila, quiet but dangerous. And Leo, who can't keep his secrets hidden. Every decision could be the difference between life and death-and every misstep could cost them all.
A JOURNEY WHERE EVERY STEP COULD BE YOUR LAST
As alliances shift and secrets unravel, the group must make impossible choices to survive. With danger lurking at every turn, Jada must figure out who she can really trust, and what she's willing to sacrifice to make it out alive.
"The Elite Trials" is a heart-pounding Young Adult Dystopian survival novel. Fast-paced, intense, and full of secrets, betrayals, and high-stakes action, this is perfect for fans of Veronica Roth's Divergent or Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games.
I'm posting early chapters of my YA dystopian survival story for feedback before I self-publish it in paperback this spring. Comments and honest opinions are welcome!

The Cure for a Dying God
When a classified military experiment fractures reality, Alrescha Sterling-a rural physician-is torn from her world and cast into another: a dying realm abandoned by its goddess and left to rot beneath the weight of human greed. The skies are fractured. The land is poisoned. Civilization survives only in fragments, clinging to its final breath. Rescued-then claimed-by the enigmatic Inquisitor Ariston, Alrescha is given an impossible role: to become a priestess capable of healing a god on the brink of extinction. The promise is simple-restore the god, and her deepest wish will be granted. But instead of a path home, Alrescha is given a task. To gather the last remaining divine herbs: Each one tied to forgotten miracles, dangerous relics, and the fading memory of a forsaken god the world itself seems determined to erase. Now hunted by the desperate Seclyr Order, she is forced into a role she never chose: The Apothecary of a dying god. Yet the deeper their journey takes them, the more reality begins to fracture. The herbs respond to her touch. The world begins to heal in her presence. And the Inquisitor-always smiling, always watching-feels less like a guide and more like something waiting to be remembered. Because the cure for this broken world is not merely the herbs. It is a ritual. A bond. A choice. One that could restore everything- ...or cost a god what little remains.
