"There's a war going on, Katarina," he hissed into my ear. "Remember which side you're on. And know that neither is the right one." This world was built on power, lies and corruption. Our hands were always stained with blood. Our eyes were windows to the soul - but as we had no souls - they were completely empty. We're fated to just be pawns in a war: soldier, healer, leader... destroyer. Pray you're not the last one. You're dead if you're the last one. Katarina Arrowglass is seventeen, can see the futures of most people around her and has the damning legacy of being the next leader of the Light: a position that will pass from her father to her. But knowing every dirty secret and possible future of all those around her makes her wonder: what kind of place would she really be leading? The training tasks mould you into the weapon you'll become for the Light against the Shadow. Find your way through the maze and hope you remember the skills that will get you out of there alive. Fight with your friends - and hope that when your back's turned to them, you won't be stabbed. Survive. Just survive. Her partner in training is Ryder Stellaire and the same as her: leaders for parents, bright future ahead and enough suspicion to last a lifetime. The same - and yet not completely. Just as she's hiding growing fears, he's got his own secrets and soon enough, she'll uncover them all. She just doesn't know if she wants to. Anyone can look good. But don't pay attention to appearance. Because inside, you know what you'll find. Because in this book, everybody's bad. Readers... don't get too attached.

Welcome to Caliatha, the only place on Earth that contains breathable air after World War 4. In 2304, scientists found a way to inject technological DNA into your bloodstream. It would then transfer you to Caliatha where you would become your own avatar, changing anything about your status before entering. Finally, Joelle Adams turns 16, and is able to get tested for entry into Caliatha. You see, in order to get in, you must have amazing scores on your gaming record that was taken throughout the torturous school years. She has been dreaming of the time she would finally be able to go into the actual game world. What she doesn't realize, is that once you go to Caliatha, there's no going back. The saying, "all fun and games till someone gets hurt" doesn't apply to the virtual land. When you run out of lives you become invisible, non-existent, to Caliatha, to the world. No one can see, hear, or feel you. Loneliness and depression cause the "Losers" to commit suicide after Game Over. When Joelle enters Caliatha, all of this is revealed to her, but yet, she discovers she has a talent that no other has ever known of, in Caliatha.
