Second Law of Attrition

Chiara knew she was missing something. She never dreamed it was everything.

 

Awakened to the seedy underbelly of her utopia, Chiara thought that was the worst of it. Then Director Cygnus, her benefactor turned worst enemy, stole her beloved brother. A brother he's promised to return when she repairs the cold fusion energy source she created for him.

 

If only he'd keep that promise! Also, if her suspicions are correct and he's using her inventions for evil instead of good, Chiara can never give him the technology. How does she pretend to grant Cygnus's desires to achieve her own objectives, yet defeat him in the process?

 

Her only choice is to ally with Deran, the sole person who seems willing to share what he knows about the world they live in. Still, Chiara can't help but ask herself-is the swoon-worthy mechanic worthy of her trust, or is he another tool wielded by the almighty conglomerate controlling their world?

 

But fortune never favored cowards. For Chiara to save her family, she must take risks. Even trust someone in a world where trust equals death.
