Book

Tomas is Cia’s romantic interest and only reliable friend throughout the Testing. He grew up with Cia in Five Lakes Colony, and the two become close when Cia told Tomas of her father’s warnings. Tomas sometimes becomes jealous of Cia as other boys in the Testing try to vie for her affections. He is more impatient than Cia and tends to rush into situations without thinking of the outcomes. Tomas has a dark side, though, and shows that he might be willing to get his hands dirty if it means surviving the Testing.
