The ruthless Grifters want Ella Kepler, and they won't stop until she's theirs. WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Summer 2019 - Best Science Fiction "Thorne does an amazing job showing the complexity of war: the who-is-right and who-is-wrong when both sides have desires that make sense, the pain it inflicts upon generations, the search for truth, and the inner-battle we all must face when choosing which side we will and should fight for... I highly, HIGHLY, recommend this book." K.A. Parkinson, Author of "The Chosen Chronicles" When Ella's metahuman abilities manifest and draw the attention of the Grifters, she seeks safety from the paramilitary training academy of the MTA. Thrust alongside soldiers programmed to fight or die, Ella struggles to stay afloat, hopeful that the Grifters will forget about her. But Grifters have a long memory, and their nature isn't compassionate. If Ella doesn't give them what they want, someone she loves will pay the price--and it will be all Ella's fault.
