You have two options. You die, or you Qualify.

Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is set not only to Qualify but to rescue her whole family.

If you’re sufficient to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games from the Atlantis Grail, which grants or loans all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you’re in the Top Ten, then all of your wildest wants are granted . Such as healing your mother’s malignancy.

There is one problem. Gwen Lark is actually a klutz and a nerd. While she’s a hotshot in classics, history, science, and dialects, the closest she’s arrive to sports is normally an outdoor pool and a skateboard.

This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition-including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she’s been crushing on, and who doesn’t appear to know she exists.

Because almost every other teen on Earth has the same idea.

You Qualify or you expire.
