The walls enclosed around Alluria have neither an entrance nor an exit. Nobody comes in, and nobody leaves, that's how it worked. Freedom was unattainable...or so they thought.
There are rumors of a person who can freely enter and exit Alluria. They are called the Erbourne, a direct descendant of the first settlers, and they'll take people with them, for a price of course.
It all seemed perfect in her head, this person seems like Claudia's one-way ticket out of Alluria, and into freedom's waiting arms. But just when everything seems in reach, a wrong move sends her careening off track and into the clutches of one of the most influential drug lords of the Allurian Underworld.
But what started as a small ploy to save her own life soon drags her into something much more complicated, and Claudia soon finds herself forced into the twisted game of the Underworld, where the cunning strategists and mass murders are the least of your worries. And while Claudia isn't one to back away from a challenge, everyone here seems to know something she doesn't.
The odds are not in her favor, but that won't stop her from fighting until her last breath.
