On the brink of disaster in her Gladius career, Ariel Spica must gently put her brother Demetrius to sleep without injuring him. He's unskilled, unpracticed, new to the sword-fighting game, and worse, he is her brother. In these early stages, the damage he causes her reputation is far more potent than the nanite vine belting out of his hilt to burrow into her suit. She has many things tied to her success in these games, especially finding their mother.
Their blades clash, and both Ariel and the audience are stunned by what her brother can do-it's inhuman. But Ariel's hurt pride hides behind a façade of protecting him from her mentor. As she moves with her changing heart towards her brother, the game, her mother, her mentor, the city, and the people she loves, Ariel Spica must muster the strength to confront an ancient, frightening truth, hidden since humans first inhabited Eos. No one and nothing are truly as they seem.
