Delilah has never wanted the fame, the fortune, the glory that would come with winning the competition. The Competition of Vises. After scientists discovered they could amplify the body's natural abilities, creating almost magic-like power, they decided the powers should not be for everyone. But just for one who deserved it. And this person would lead the country. So they devised The Competition of Vises, where a group of young adults would battle for the ultimate leadership position, and then be trained to lead and use their powers for good.
After Delilah gets thrown in unexpectedly, she is unsure if she wants to lead, but she wants to try. As she continues in the competition, it becomes more deadly than previously thought. But is the danger within the competitors or some outside source?
