dystopia dystopian fiction firstperson mysterious mystery mystery-thriller

To Ash, life has always been like a card game. The cards are randomized, and you have to make the best of what you're dealt. Born into a money tight household, she has always tried her best to help her parents out by any means necessary, even if the methods are not what one would consider legal. More recently, she's taken to gambling.

An odd stranger she meets saves her life as she was suspiciously brought to a back room by an employee, for seemingly playing too well. She's suddenly filled with questions, as her view of the world is turned on its head, and she's put in a situation of trusting a random stranger, or ignoring the now obvious problems of the world around her. 

Can she discover the hidden truths behind the masks of employees? And can she even trust the person who saved her? Those are the questions that will remain.
