The Commander's Tower

That wasn't quite true and Lexa knew it. They could make her do whatever they wanted as long as it was legal. It did not need to be moral. That's something that was Lexa's own fault. She had signed her life away for the second time in her twenty-seven years of existing, making just that possible.

Everyone who had been selected to participate in The Commander's Tower had their own reasons for being there. Some were more honest about those reasons than others. But it all came down to one thing: the money.
