[The Enertia Trials 02] • Encender

*They say you feel cold when you die.

The people I’ve killed would beg to differ.*

For twenty-something Ransley, the **adopted** daughter of famed street fighter Estevan Benitez, **fighting** is all she knows. One hidden detail separates her from the endless string of her pathetic opponents: she can craft and influence *heat* and *fire.*

When she’s pitted against the strongest fighters at the infamous **Argolla**, Ransley faces something she never expected:

A man **like her**.

Roydon can **duplicate** himself. When the two collide in the ring, a chain of deals turns Roydon over to Public Four and he’s taken away to undergo the disturbing process of the **Nexis**. What it is, or what it does, **no one** outside of The Public **knows**.

Driven by **guilt** and a desire to release the only person she’s ever met who’s like her, Ransley isn’t about to leave him for **dead**—not when he might hold the answers to her **missing** past. Now she must trust a pair of **strangers**: a former **military** man out to collapse the system, and a woman whose **premonitions** could tear them all apart.
