Humans weren’t the only ones to lose the Great War.

​

The simulation is all Ethan Myler has ever known. Day in and day out, he plays games with his friends and learns about the perfect world outside. Little does he know that a sinister Council of installed intelligences is raising him for his body. Escape is the only option.

​

Human Liaison Officer Tera Alvarez is tasked with policing the downtrodden humans who live in the ghettos of Shell City. The slum dwellers hate her — she can see it in their faces. But after a case of mistaken identity, it’s starting to become clear: she’s on the wrong side of a war growing just beneath the city’s surface.

​

Can Ethan and Tera overcome their upbringings to fight for what they believe in? Or will they fall victim to the Council like so many before them?
