    "description": "<p><strong>From #1&nbsp;<em>New York Times</em>&nbsp;bestselling author Marie Lu&mdash;when a game called Warcross takes the world by storm, one girl hacks her way into its dangerous depths.<br /></strong><br />For the millions who log in every day, Warcross isn&rsquo;t just a game&mdash;it&rsquo;s a way of life. The obsession started ten years ago and its fan base now spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit. Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down Warcross players who bet on the game illegally. But the bounty-hunting world is a competitive one, and survival has not been easy. To make some quick cash, Emika takes a risk and hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships&mdash;only to accidentally glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation.<br />Convinced she&rsquo;s going to be arrested, Emika is shocked when instead she gets a call from the game&rsquo;s creator, the elusive young billionaire Hideo Tanaka, with an irresistible offer. He needs a spy on the inside of this year&rsquo;s tournament in order to uncover a security problem . . . and he wants Emika for the job. With no time to lose, Emika&rsquo;s whisked off to Tokyo and thrust into a world of fame and fortune that she&rsquo;s only dreamed of. But soon her investigation uncovers a sinister plot, with major consequences for the entire Warcross empire.<br />In this sci-fi thriller, #1&nbsp;<em>New York Times</em>&nbsp;bestselling author Marie Lu conjures an immersive, exhilarating world where choosing who to trust may be the biggest gamble of all.</p>",
