39 parts Complete MatureAt 16, Malory has been tending to her blind mother, Elizabeth, for as long as she can remember.
When resources grow thin, she, in hopes of fleeing her past, pretends to be a man to enroll in the Recruitment, working for the government.
She befriends Amell, a boy from her neighbourhood, finds within herself a passion for boxing and, above all, experiences peace of mind for the first time; she lives her best life 6 months into her enrolment.
What she doesn't expect is that she'll be caught in a nasty mess.
Consequently, when she doesn't feel like life is worth it anymore, Malory is tasked with saving everyone from the claws of the governors and she cannot back out.
Her only consolation is that when you're at rock bottom, you can't sink any further.
