Selection day

Book one of the Empty Night series

We hope you enjoy the newest book from De Novo Press - Selection Day.

Selection Day is the first book in the upcoming Empty Night Series by Nashville author Nicholas Poe. You can find more about him here!

On Selection Day, every 16-year-old human in the universe chooses a unique AI companion to be their helper for the rest of their lives.

Except no human has ever chosen Dante.

But this year, his fifth Selection Day must be different because the Emperor’s daughter is selecting a companion. All Dante needs is to win the three AI challenges, get the highest rank in the class, and maybe the most important selector of all time might choose him. But winning the challenges might be harder than he thought, even with his friends helping him.

Can he outwit the more advanced AIs and finally get selected, or is he doomed to a life in the AI Portal, watching other AIs explore the universe without him?
