It's more than a game—it's life and death. After a deadly accident, Miki Jones is pulled from her everyday life, trapped in an alternate reality game where she and a team of other teens battle the Drau—beautiful and deadly alien creatures bent on mankind's destruction. There’s no training, no boot camp, and no way out. There's only the mission: kill or be killed. Other players whisper about a way out of the game. But everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. Including the team’s secretive, closed-off leader, Jackson Tate. And when the mission takes a deadly turn, Miki's only hope for survival depends on her figuring out who—and what—to trust.
