The year is 2047. An extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and the descendants of ancient Atlantis have returned from the stars in their silver ships to offer humanity help.

But theres a catch.

They can only take a tiny percent of the Earths population back to the colony planet Atlantis. And in order to be chosen, you must be a teen, you must be bright, talented, and athletic, and you must Qualify.

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

Because theres a loophole.

If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you are in the Top Ten, then all your wildest wishes are granted Such as curing your mothers cancer.

There is only one problem.

Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While shes a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest shes come to sports is a backyard 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 competitionincluding Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one shes been crushing on, and who doesnt seem to know she exists.

Because every other teen on Earth has the same idea.

You Qualify or you die.
