First Escape

Laura was three years old when she was accepted into the prestigious Gates Program, a gifted youth initiative for the country's most exceptional minds. Her parents thought they were giving her the opportunity of a lifetime. In reality, they were giving her away. Behind the walls of Gates, children weren't being prepared for the future. They were being studied, tested, and transformed into something far beyond what anyone outside the program could understand. Years later, Laura discovers the truth behind Gates. What was supposed to create gifted minds became something much darker, and the Paragon will do anything to protect what's hidden inside its walls.
