Welcome to the gladiocracy: a futuristic society where the strongest warriors rule as celebrity kings and tyrants. To those at the top goes prestige, power, and absolute rule. But teenage gunslinger Emilia Mori was born at the bottom. Dealt the life of a street rat in neon-soaked hell, Mori swore to do whatever necessary to survive. By eighteen, she's thriving on the reputation of a daredevil, wrangled the apprenticeship of master gunslinger Sarah Morninghawk, and taking any job her undercity home throws her way- the riskier, the better. The only things holding her back are Sarah's heart of gold and dreams of finally uniting the Vents, the exploited and crime-ridden underbelly of their futuristic metropolis. Yet she's not the only one with eyes on the underworld. Hoping to conquer the undercity for their own aims, the foreign crime syndicate Dynasty has no intention of letting the Vents organize itself in a quest for liberation. The syndicate quickly envelops the undercity's eight gang lords in an all-out war of succession. And Mori, caught right in the center of the conflict, finds herself swept up in the tide of criminal politics and tribal gangster warfare...

USER SERIES 1 Micah Rex: He's handsome, dangerous, reckless. An addict. When he walks into a room, people notice. People are scared of him, people don't look him in the eye. AJ Ferro: She's cute, nice respectful. A helper. When she walks in a room, people usually get flowers. People love her, people want to be her friend. Despite her cheery nature and soft words AJ has never had it easy when it came to addiction -or depression. Without his addiction, sadness and anger Micah doesn't know who he is -and he hates not knowing things. And, of all places, they meet at a rehab center. He looked at her and saw a peppy girl with no future. She looked at him and saw a troubled boy with a bad past. Micah wants to die, AJ wants him to live. It's only a matter of time before one of them breaks through or breaks the other. - I was 12 the first time I took a hit off a joint at a party, smoked a blunt by myself and bought a bong. I was 13 when I started drinking alcohol for fun. 14 the first time I took ecstasy at a college party I snuck into, the same age I lost my virginity. This was the first time I went to a mental institution because it's also the year I first tried to kill myself. 15 the first time I smoked meth, took a bump of cocaine, shot myself up with heroine. This was the first time I got sent to rehab, it didn't work and I came out worse. I was 16 when I tried to commit three times in the same year, the last time I got my heart to stop for 30 seconds. That year was also the first time I snorted Hydrocodone, getting me started in opiates, I experimented with Xanax and liked it. And I was a month from 17 when I got sober. - "Fuck you." I snap. "You already have." Micah bites out. "And I'm pretty fucking sure you liked it too, if your orgasms were anything to go by." - "I want-" Micah stopped, running his fingers through his hair. "Never mind what I want. What do you want?" His voice is quieter now, more gentle. "You."
