Rank high, save your family - lose yourself. Shy but brilliant Phaet ("Fate") Theta has spent fifteen years living a quiet existence in a lunar colony founded by scientists generations before. But when her mother is imprisoned and accused of treason, Phaet must save her sibilings from a grim orphan's future by joining the Militia, a league of faceless enforcers. To survive Militia training, Phaet must rely on her wits, resilience, and fierce ambition - and on Wes, with whom she feels kinship if not exactly trust. But the higher Phaet climbs through the ranks, the more she discovers the world she's known is a lie.

Review:

"Karen Bao is an incredibly talented young writer. Beautiful prose and one of the most interesting main characters I've read. "Dove Arising" marks the debut of a promising new talent. I loved the story, and I can't wait to read more!" --Christopher Paolini, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Eragon"
"Newcomer Bao's off-world setting and world-building details are intriguing."--"Publishers Weekly"
"
"Characters are well developed, especially strong-willed Phaet, and an even pace will keep teens turning pages. Fans of Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game," Veronica Roth's "Divergent "and Marie Lu's "Legend "should flock to this well-written debut effort by 19-year-old Bao." --"School Library Journal"
"
"Until just recently, the number of formidable young adult authors who got published before they were out of their teens was extremely small: Christopher Paolini and Isamu Fukui. Well, it is time to make room for a third name in this elite list: Karen Bao." --"VOYA
"
"The 20-year-old Bao writes a brilliant new YA heroine in a world of true science fiction." --Bustle.com
"Phaet is a compelling, 'do what needs doing' kind of girl, and her desperation to succeed and secure her family's future is palpable...Revelations at the end pave the way for a sequel."--Booklist.com
"Fans of "The 5th Wave, Divergent, "and "Legend" will love this smart, futuristic thriller." --"Justine"
