More about this book
Story
Emika Chen is a teen hacker and bounty hunter in financial trouble, trying to survive in a world where the virtual game Warcross is everywhere. When a risky hack during the championship opening goes public, she becomes an instant sensation instead of getting arrested.
The creator of Warcross hires her for an undercover job inside the tournament. Emika is sent to Tokyo and pulled into the game’s elite circles, where she must uncover a security threat while competing among teams, power-ups, and immersive virtual arenas.
As Emika digs deeper, the investigation turns darker than expected. Secrets inside the Warcross empire, the hacker known as Zero, and the people closest to the game’s creator all point toward a larger conspiracy with consequences far beyond the tournament.
