Book one of The Empty Night series

Selection Day is the newest book from De Novo Press, and we’re extremely proud to have worked with Nashville author Nicholas Poe on his excellent book. Nicholas has created a vibrant introduction to his world with Selection Day, the first of the Empty Night Series.

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?
