Synopsis:
How can you escape when you’re held hostage from the inside?
One in Vermilion May Live by Jennifer Jaxxon-Louis is a high-stakes near-future thriller that blends a deadly game, an outlaw motorcycle club’s civil war, near-futuristic inventions, and real-world locations in a fun, funny, and scary-as-hell ride down the slippery slope of AI and nanotechnology.
If you enjoy dark twisty intrigue and mystery, this novel is for you.
Dancer Mallory Rosenbaum dreams of Broadway, but her parents force her on a college tour up to Michigan Tech. When her tour bus is hijacked, she and eight other students are injected with super-advanced nanobots that take control of their bodies.
Now, they are unwilling contestants in Vermilion, a deadly game designed to entice criminal VIPs to invest in a terrifying new technology. Only one contestant can possibly win the antidote to dissolve their nanobots. The others will be eliminated — and disintegrated.
Desperate to save her, Mallory’s prudish twin Davina must infiltrate a violent biker gang invited as VIPs to Vermilion to score an invite to the next round. Can Davina become an unlikely hero and save Mallory in time?
Fans of The Hunger Games, The Squid Game, and Sons of Anarchy will be hooked.
