Computers control many things - here they can control fate. Viruses have life-changing consequences and hacking is as dangerous as spying. Thalassa Brytaye - a 'normal' student on her campus - is a computer-geek and loner. One day, she meets some of her kind. They compete in a school-assigned game and life afterwards is never the same. Are the teachers rigging the game to be realer than it should? Are some of the students manipulating tests scores? Is anyone who they really seem? With her team, Thalassa sets out to discover the truth behind the server - the person behind the program.

I've reached my expiration date.
Not that it matters. We're all going to die.
To sixteen-year-old Micka, all words have flavours. Her emotions come with such force that she can't help but carve them into her skin. The night she decides to kill herself, she meets Runner -- a mysterious stranger who makes her question everything she's learned about the end of the world.
His message is terrifying: It wasn't some mysterious disease that killed ten billion people. We did this. Humanity sleepwalked into climate disaster and ecocide, just to butcher and rape until blood stained the seas.
Micka is sure Runner is lying. Her instincts urge her to stay far away from him. But he makes her an offer she finds hard to resist. There are only two rules she must follow:
Kill.
Survive.
Because the final wars were never meant to end.
