When the humans got sick of the underlings, they banished them to the "underworld". Little did they know how much that would infuriate the underlings. Now generations later the underlings are still mad, and ready for their revenge. Nyx pulled herself to the top, working hard and never giving up. When she lands in the over-world, trying to not only survive the trial that all underlings must take, she has to use that wit to stay alive. But could she protect two people with her knowledge? Scylla grew up as underling royalty, now when realizing that her "royal status" means nothing in the game of survival. She finds that strength isn't everything. Scylla becomes heavily dependent on a person that may be her only chance to survive.
