Acclaimed soldier Nisa Armageddon has never known anything except the barbed wire gates of the covert military camp she calls home. Even at a young age, she was forced into the grueling routine of the world's most lethal soldiers, all trained in the shadow of the nation's sunshine. Every day consists of nothing more than arduous exercises, pulling triggers, and learning how to kill. When Nisa is sentenced to quarantine, she must find a way to escape or die trying. Along with friends Spike and Ruby, she bypasses the mindless Elites-indoctrinated soldiers reaped from the most dangerous and intelligent in the camp-to avoid a future of serving as a brainless weapon. Once outside, Nisa discovers that her pyromaniac tendencies are more than just an odd fixation. She and her friends are catapulted into a world of beings born from natural disasters (Evolvo) and must travel to remote locations to rescue and recruit three more individuals like themselves. While on this mission, they're framed by the immortal enemies of Evolvo for the murder of over eight hundred soldiers from the compound they left. Throughout, Nisa battles brainwashed soldiers, vampire-like creatures, enemies that can't be touched, plane hijackings, a handsome enemy who takes a grotesque liking to her, warehouse bombings, a cruel child prodigy, scientists bent on a sickening revolution, and even herself. Unaccustomed to the new responsibility bestowed on her, Nisa must cope with both external and internal demons in learning how to contain herself and her grotesque secret or risk killing others.
