A Game of Guns and Gulfs
In a world where virtual reality has become the cornerstone of society, few are aware of its dangerous consequences. One of them is Lysia Reed, known in-game as Ace; former best player of Night Watch: Midnight, one of the biggest VR games of the century. At just 17 years old, she was one of the most famous VR gamers in the world until she disappeared from the scene without a trace. From boredom to murder, the rumours surrounding her disappearance run the gamut.
In reality, she is trying to live a quiet, peaceful life away from the troubles she left behind. However, when a new game based on NWM is released, a glitch leads to her name being placed on the top of the Bounty List, offering 1.8 million dollars for her life. When one of her former friends, a cocky gunslinger named Ambrose, arrives to save her life, she's pulled back into a world she'd longed to forget. As Ace tries to survive what her past throws at her, she can no longer avoid the game or the people she ran from. Uncertain of who she can and cannot trust, she knows one thing: she wants revenge on those who forced her into hiding. And so she begins the most dangerous game in existence - one that could cost her not only her heart, but also her life.

Excerpt:
I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow.
Glowing eyes were not normal.
Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer
