1: Hope

Lies. Betrayal. Pain and Loss.

Aella Rynnex has suffered them all and she has only one goal-revenge for the person who crushed her spirit and imprisoned her in her own mind.

When she is given a coveted spot and sponsorship in the I.L.S. Beta Game by United Earth's Founder, she will stop at nothing to infiltrate the Capital, becoming a spy to find an elusive ghost that has the power to bring the United Earth Consortium, and its Founder, to their knees. But before she can do that, she must discover the power to lead despite her doubt and fear and find the resolve to keep moving forward.
