The Novus
Separated by a test, united by rebellion.
In Pura City, your life's path is determined by a test. You will become a slave, a normal citizen, or a member of the all-powerful Magna Council. When Alice Kingston takes this life-altering test, she becomes the first to achieve a perfect score, catapulting her directly onto the Magna Council, a position she did not desire. Soon, however, she discovers her best friend, Amica, managed to take last place in test scores, which forces her into a life of slavery. Knowing she can't live with that burden, Alice takes it upon herself to free Amica by bargaining with the megalomaniac leader of Pura City. As she gains influence in the city, however, she realizes she can change more than just her friend's life.
She can change the world.

If you, like me, have always loved dystopian…then this book will work well for you. It has the classic dystopian feel. The ones I would compare this to are Divergent, Program MIRA, and Blood Numbers. All ones that I really enjoyed. I’m looking forward to reading more from Lincoln. If this is his debut, imagine how good his future books will be.
