For decades, the Robot Wars have raged all across colonized space. But, now, thanks to the actions of the Rangers serving onboard the starship Horizon, the war is finally over. Yet the cost of that final battle has had astronomic consequences on the Horizon's crew.
Hero of the battle, Sergeant Rowan, is paying a heavy price for her actions, incapacitated and turned into what she hates most. Still, the time is coming when she'll have to step up to the plate and set aside her anger for the sake of everyone in her squad and on the ship.
Medic Carter Roe saw firsthand the destruction of the final battle, and it has instilled in her a determination to put her talents to use. Signing on as the Medical Officer for Rowan's squad, she realizes she might be in over her head, and she's in for a whole lot more than she bargained for.
From a desolate industrial planet, factory worker Adlai Fletcher knows that the end of the war doesn't mean an end to violence, and she signs on to the Colonial Network's army. Still, with every branch of law enforcement scrambling to recruit after their losses at war, can she prove that she is worth more than anyone expected and rise above the squalor of her home planet to actually become someone?
The war might be over, but the fight never ends.

"Congratulations, you are one of the few lucky initiates to have been selected for Project Soteria.
What lies ahead will challenge you. It will push you to your limits, teach you about yourself, force you to make tough decisions. But if you make it through, you could play a key role in the survival of our nation. We are on the brink of great disaster. Will you save us?"
Just when Norae Rigby thought her life was over, fate takes a turn she never saw coming.
Waking up on a strange ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with no clue how she got there, Norae is thrown into a world of chaos when she is forced to undergo military training spearheaded by a private army and one billionaire scientist with big plans for the future. Inside this unorthodox military academy, she is joined by hundreds of other abducted teens, and soon she forms relationships that could ensure her survival. Or they could bring certain death.
And then there's The Grounds, a virtual battlefield where the initiates are sent to train in different challenging simulations. Here anything and everything is possible, and no mission is ever the same.
In order to survive not just the training but also what comes next, Norae and the other initiates must stick close and work together. But not everyone is a team player.
And under all that pressure, the initiates still need to ask themselves...
Is it all real?
