Publisher's Synopsis
A natural born among genetically altered Aristocrats, all Ella ever wanted was to be like everyone else. Augmented, sparkling, and perfect. Then ... the crash. Devastated by her father's death and struggling with her new physical limitations, Ella is terrified to learn she is not just alone, but little more than a prisoner. Her only escape is to lose herself in Nexis, the hugely popular virtual reality game her father created. In it she meets Guster, a senior player who guides her through the strange and compelling new world she now inhabits. He offers her guidance, friendship ... and something more. Something that makes her feel whole again. But when their separate worlds collide, Ella will have to choose between love and survival. Because Nexis isn't quite the game everyone thinks it is ...
