Survive the Trials. Defy the System. Protect What You Love.

Every year, the Collectives of Nexum send their elected representatives into the Reclamation Run, a brutal gauntlet of deadly trials where victory means food, medicine, and clean water for your people and failure means death. Brexlyn Hollis never wanted the title of Challenger, but when her little brother’s life hangs in the balance, she steps into the arena determined to win.
