Reseña del editor:

Abigail believes her life ruined when she is violently kidnapped and taken to the city of Emporia. However, when she arrives in the great city, Abigail learns that secrets from her past put her in a position of celebrity in the magnificent city. The luxuries and comforts of Emporia exceed anything she could imagine. While unraveling the intrigue and mystery of this place, Abigail begins to hope for a better future. To survive and protect the people she loves, Abigail sacrifices what she is to become the very thing she despises. Her greatest fear is losing herself in the process. Abigail’s Story, is a paraquel—a story with the same timeframe and plot but from a different point of view—to For the Greater Good. This perspective shows the trials Abigail faces outside the bloody spectacle called the Corporate Challenge.THE WORLD OF EMPORIAEmporia, the greatest city left on earth, is operated by an immense corporation managed by the mysterious Nephilim who saved the technology of the old world and administer the resources of the new one. Life in Emporia is a shining symbol of progress built from the ashes of a ruined world. Emporia values efficiency, influence, and celebrity. The Corporation that runs Emporia is all-knowing, all-powerful, and always present. Emporia’s motto is “For the Greater Good,” but the incredible splendor of the city comes with a price that all of its citizens must pay.
