She wants out. When sixteen-year-old Emma finds out the truth about her mother's death, it makes her question everything, including her loyalty to the Authority, a secret organization she spies for after school. Feeling trapped, Emma comes up with a desperate plan to escape their control. She'll fake her own suicide.
But Ryan is suspicious. He's been trying to convince Emma to join Venomous for months. Now, he suspects Emma's disappearance is tied to a secret move to join him and the worldwide criminal organization. Ryan will do anything to help the girl he loves.
Miyuki is a part of the Gems, a group of talented teen spies who work for the Authority. When they investigate Emma's suicide, the Gems suspect she was pushed over the edge by Ryan and Asset One, the leader of Venomous. Seeking justice, the three Gems hunt down Ryan for answers.
But Asset One holds all the cards. Using them to play his own game against the Authority. A game with a dramatic ending that will destroy the Authority and kill millions under a mushroom cloud.
Emma can refuse to play his game and live happily ever after with her grandmother.
Or she can be a hero...and risk losing everything.
