When Eva's twin brother dies just a few months before he is due to participate in the Testing, no one expects Eva to take his place. She's a Maiden, slated for embroidery classes, curtseys, and a prestigious marriage, but Eva insists on becoming a Testor. She'd be the first Maiden to Test in 150 years. Testors train for their entire lives to search icy wastelands for Relics: artifacts of the corrupt civilization that existed before the Healing drowned the world. In the Boundary Lands, Eva must rely on every moment of the training she received from Lukas, her servant and closest friend. But there are threats in the Testing beyond what Lukas could have prepared her for.
