The Sims Tournament isn't just a chance. It may be their only way out.
In a crumbling future Chicago, siblings Clera and Elio Diaz have learned one thing: survival means sacrifice. Clera works endless factory shifts, while Elio ditches school for dangerous jobs in the city's sewers. But when a sudden explosion destroys their home and takes their mother, the fragile life they've built shatters.
Homeless and desperate, Elio sets his sights on his secret goal. A high-stakes gaming tournament with an out-of-this-world grand prize. A ticket to a new life on an off-Earth colony. He's never played before, but he's sure he can win. While Clera struggles to rebuild their lives, unaware of his plans, Elio bets everything on a risky gamble.
With nothing left but each other, can they evade a dangerous gang and carve out a new future amidst grief? Will they risk everything for a dream that may reach as far away as the stars?
One chance to play. One shot to win. One choice that could change everything.
Fast-paced and engaging! Persephone Rising by Kate Glass delivers a gripping tale of survival, secrets, and the bond between siblings in a crumbling future Chicago. Perfect for fans of dystopian adventure.
