People on earth don't know they aren't the only ones out there in the universe. And they certainly don't know they are a part of an intergalactic game where other teams from different planets fight for resources. And they especially don't know about the fact that this space game is broadcasted across the universe for entertainment....until now. Apparently the hosts of the games thought it was time to extend their audience to the unknowing populous of earth. Now everyone on earth has a chance to watch the games. Macy our 25 year old jaded and sarcastic protagonist finds the whole ordeal another annoyance in the grand scheme of things. She's been fighting for her life as a member of the earth team for 12 years and her only concern? Surviving. So what if a couple of eyes from home can watch now? Doesn't make the games less deadly. That drive to survive has lead her to be the longest surviving member of the earth team. And she plans to survive as she always done for her 13th season of the Galactic Games. ~~~ Think weird space hunger games where the other contestants are aliens and the main character is lowkey a bitch to everyone. Possible romance. Lots of snark. And nerdy sci fi stuff. If you are into that read on.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
