But Ana can't afford to escape it, even as the wealthiest in Caimor buy and discard expensive designer bodies without a thought. When she fails to gain admittance to the prestigious Paragon Academy--and access to the healthy new forms the school provides its students--her final hope implodes. Now without options, Ana must use her illusion magic to try to steal a healthy chassis--before her own kills her. But Ana is caught by none other than the headmaster of Paragon Academy, who poses a brutal ultimatum: face execution for her crime or become a mercenary at his command.

As Ana is drawn into a tangled web of secrets, the line between villain and hero shatters--and Ana must decide which side is worth dying for.
