Raven enters Endlock Prison with one goal: rescue her brother from the deadliest correctional facility in Dividium. This isn't an ordinary prison. Wealthy citizens pay to hunt inmates like animals, turning incarceration into blood sport. The state of Dividium sentences all criminals to life imprisonment, creating a permanent population of prey for the rich. Raven built her reputation as Dividium's most feared bounty hunter by capturing criminals and sending them to places like Endlock. Now those same inmates recognize her face and want payback. Every corridor holds someone she put behind bars. Every meal could be her last. Survival means making impossible choices. The prison guard she planned to despise becomes her lifeline in a system designed to kill her. Trusting him goes against every instinct, but staying alive long enough to find her brother requires allies. Raven must decide whether saving family is worth risking everything she believes about loyalty and survival.
