Iba oni sa totiž môžu uchádzať o štúdium na univerzite v Tosu. Najskôr však musí obstáť v testovaní, ktorým prejdú len skutočne výnimoční. Cia tú šancu dostane. Tesne pred odchodom sa jej však otec zverí s útržkami desivých spomienok, ktoré má na testovanie on. Radosť z úspechu vystriedajú strach a neistota. Cia začína tušiť, že ju čaká tvrdá skúška, v ktorej nepôjde len o vedomosti, ale najmä o správne rozhodnutia a schopnosť odhadnúť ľudí. Keď opúšťa rodinu, v ušiach jej znie otcova zúfalá rada: „Never vôbec nikomu!“ A hlavou jej víria pochybnosti, či sa ešte niekedy vráti domov...

V snahe odhaliť odpornú pravdu o vražedných praktikách najvyšších vládnych úradníkov vystavuje veľkému nebezpečenstvu seba aj svojich blízkych. Zradcovia, ktorí sa usilujú o moc a nehodlajú sa len tak vzdať, už totiž tušia, že Cia vie viac, než by mala. Budúcnosť však závisí od nej!

Pripravuje sa povstanie proti ľuďom, ktorí stoja za krutými podmienkami Skúšky, a Zväz národov sa nachádza na pokraji občianskej vojny. Cia sa snaží postaviť na stranu pravdy, tvárou v tvár nebezpečenstvám, zrade a podvodom. Uvedomuje si, že jej rozhodnutie ovplyvní život tých, ktorých má rada.
