Nexaris doesn't make small promises. Carved across the Legend Force tower, visible from nearly every rooftop in the city, are four words that have shaped generations: Anyone can become a legend. Fourteen-year-old Suzanne O'Neill just wants her crush to notice her. Not as the clumsy disaster who once took out a row of trash cans in front of him, and definitely not as the kid everyone expects to mess up. So when Legend Force opens applications for the Gauntlet-the city's most feared entrance exam-Suzanne signs up. If passing the Gauntlet means proving her father wrong and finally getting on Rian's radar, she'll take her chances. Her father doesn't think she'll make it. Neither does she. So when the acceptance letter arrives, nobody is more shocked than Suzanne. She figures the hard part is over. It isn't. While Suzanne is busy trying not to trip over her own feet, the training grows stranger, the missions stop making sense, and the shining promise of Legend Force begins to rot from the inside out. Welcome to Nexaris-where anyone can become a legend. Just be careful what you're willing to become. Getting into Legend Force was supposed to be the impossible part. Finding out what they're actually hiding is so much worse.
