Beskrivelse
No one doubts she'll die in the Rings. They just hope she'll put on a good show.
Now a slave of the Nirreth Royals, Jet spends her days babysitting the heir to the alien throne, and her nights training for the Rings.
The Rings are the wildly-popular, televised Nirreth sport, where humans and aliens navigate perilous courses, trying to stay alive. As the first female human ever to run, Jet knows everyone expects her to die in her trial match. The only question for most is how long she'll last, and what kind of bloody spectacle she'll provide to entertain the rabid fans.
To beat the Rings, Jet must match wits with Trazen, the youngest Nirreth to ever win the title of "Ringmaster." Trazen killed more opponents than any other fighter in the Rings, and is widely considered the most brutal, creative, and most brilliant Rings designer they've ever had.
Since Jet now secretly works for the human rebellion, a fact that would get her killed instantly if the Royals ever found out, she also can't let Trazen find out who she really is.
But keeping that from him might be tougher than she thinks, especially when Trazen develops an odd fixation on her, a fixation made deeply dangerous by his reputation as a serial womanizer, and possible serial killer of human women.
