Atalanta Matt King

"Welcome to the world, Initiate." The offer seemed simple enough: a fresh start to a disappointing life so long as she pledged to fight. Atalanta is all too eager to sign up for a spot in the military's newest elite branch, but she quickly finds out that the offer only applies if she can live through the trial. Thrust into a contest of bio-engineered warriors, Atalanta is given enhanced speed and strength to battle against her fellow military experiments. The competition soon becomes an unexpected exercise in survival on all fronts. Wildfires rage through the hills of Los Angeles, unhinged soldiers lurk in the shadows, and the most dangerous threat of all descends from above. Atalanta will have to decide whether winning means saving herself or the lives of everyone in the city, including those competing to kill her.
