    A journalist risks her career and her heart when she helps a convicted tech geek survive a real-life World of Warcraft game as he attempts to earn his freedom. 
                                                                              *****                                                                      
        On the heels of a catastrophic cyberwar, the prison population skyrockets, and a new form of justice is established to handle the problem. The Redemption Fields is a competition pitting convicts against AI opponents. Anyone who makes it out alive is granted a pardon, all while the world watches. 
        
        MERCY NIGHTINGALE is a journalist for the Redemption Fields, reporting the good, the bad, and the carnage. She hates the carnage, but she loves her job, and she does her best to humanize a mostly inhumane practice. 
        
        JJ WARNER is Mercy's next assignment, a so-called cyber threat with enough ties to the matrix to get him fifty years. But Mercy's sympathy kicks-in when she realizes JJ isn't a bad guy. He was arrested to catch a bigger fish, a hacker named Eon. 
        
        While JJ battles AI monsters, navigates booby-trapped labyrinths, and decodes cryptic messages to save his butt, Mercy goes beyond the call of entertainment journalism to discover the truth about a couple of things. One, she is falling in love with JJ. And two, humans are unwittingly becoming one with the machines.
