Description
As featured on CNN, the NY Post, Bloomberg, and others
Published two years before Covid, The Initiation is set a generation after an apocalypse that featured a global pandemic, a mass exodus from NYC, strict quarantines, riots over inequality, and federal forces brought in to restore order. Want to know what happens next?
Manhattan is now known as New America, a fully walled-in society based on equality. But the perfect facade hides a dark truth.
A timid math geek, sixteen-year-old Drayden watches his life crumble when his beloved mother is exiled. The mystery of her banishment leads him to a sinister secret: New America is in trouble, and every one of its citizens is in jeopardy.
With time running out, he enters the Initiation. It’s a test within the empty subway tunnels—-a perilous journey of puzzles and deadly physical trials. Winners join the ruling Bureau and move to its safe haven. But failure means death. Can Drayden conquer the Initiation, or is salvation out of his grasp?

Tonya L, Reviewer
I received this book for free from Netgalley and Publisher/author in exchange for honest review.
First, lets just look at this cover. LOVE IT!
This book was just amazing. I loved the world building in the book. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I hate it took me this long to pick this book up. This book was issued to me a month ago by Netgalley and I just now picked it up to read. I love a good book set in Manhattan New York. This book was fast paced and full of turns.
The author did a great job translating this story. I was not a let down.
