Winning means becoming one of the five Cinque – a position of influence and power that could reshape the lives of people in her hometown slum, the Dregs.Twenty-two years ago, Kestrel's mother should have become a Cinque. She won the Trials as the Champion of the Moon. Instead, she was executed for treason after allegedly attacking the Minor Court.Determined to find out the truth, Kestrel joins the trials as the Moon's new champion. Though enemies abound, she soon strikes some unlikely alliances: the coy and unnaturally lucky Wheel of Fortune, Vesper and the arrogant powerhouse Sun, Cato. She's equally drawn to the mysterious and brooding Tower — whose alliance with Death, the man who killed Kestrel's mother years ago, may lead to the answers she seeks.But, in the Trials, betrayal is a question of 'when', not 'if'. Kestrel will come to learn that winning the game isn't about what she must do to win, but who she needs to survive.'A wholly original experience.
