Joelle Charbonneau's Testing trilogy is set generations after a war has wrecked the world's governments and resources, when a rebuilt society selects its most promising graduates for the Testing, a competition meant to find future leaders. Cia Vale, the trilogy's narrator, discovers the Testing hides far darker stakes than she was told, and the following two books follow what she does with that knowledge.
