It's a new year and Gauntlet finalist Codi James is back for round two. With her new position at the top ranked Battlecast Academy and with last year's victor no longer competing, it seems like the fates have aligned to give Codi a clear run at winning the tournament once and for all. Armed with state of the art equipment, a rigorous training schedule and a scholarship fund to let her focus on nothing but the Gauntlet all year round, she has one goal: first place. But this year the game has changed. She's not the plucky underdog anymore. Codi has the weight of expectations on her shoulders, and there are those who view her leap to fame through jealous eyes. This year her battles won't be confined to the arena, and now she has everything to lose. [Sequel to The Gauntlet]

Six months after reuniting with his brother and exposing the corruption within the Enforcers, Nole Vale and his friends continue running errands for their boss, Betty. But when she leaves unexpectedly, the Runners are left to fend for themselves. It doesn't take long before a new self-righteous group asserts their presence and announces their goal to the entire city: to capture the remaining gangs and anyone else they deem to be a burden to the city - including the Runners. With bounties on their heads and nowhere to hide, Nole and the others try to survive in the mass chaos that has consumed Nova City. Zane, on the other hand, has his own agenda.
