Shrewdest Faction

The simulation was only the beginning…

When the Chi Rho Iota Corporation announces that the second round of War Game XRI will be at a different school, Cassie Routhier and her squad are convinced it's game over for Settontown High. Their new opponents have an entire squad of champions, a group that rules with fear and goes by the Shrewdest Faction. The more Cassie learns about them, the more happy she is to be injured and watching everyone else from the sidelines.

Cassie gets herself in trouble when she overhears something she shouldn't. There's no way she can stand among the Chi Rho Iota Corporation and act like nothing is wrong. When facing the Shrewdest Faction seems like the better choice, Cassie knows there is no going back to the way things were before. She must choose a battle inside the simulation.
