THE TRENCHANT
Rose-colored glasses blind those who wear them.
This is especially true for seventeen-year-old nationalist Merci Madden. When Merci emerges victorious from the Trenchant- a series of tests designed to measure the mental and physical prowess of select teenagers- her life takes a dramatic turn as she relocates to Paramount for her prestigious position. As she settles into her new life, Merci discovers that her government's secrets are far more disturbing than any test she's faced. With the foundation of her beliefs shaken, Merci must confront her own blind patriotism and find the strength to challenge the very core of her existence.
This poses a lingering question: Can she ever reclaim her self-identity and the simple life she once envisioned?

Wonderful collection. Every time I felt like giving up I would open to any page and read, the emotions encapsulated in the poems spoke to me.
RanimThe poems were heartbreakingly beautiful <3 The works all had beautiful imagery that really took you on a journey through the author’s highs and lows. And I loved the central message of personal strength and prevailing no matter the trails we face.
Amazon CustomerThis is one of the best poetry books I’ve read in a while. Raw, beautiful, inspiring. It’s personal and you can feel it. You can feel each story shared. I can’t wait for the next work! 10/10
