Etherworld

The mind-blowing action from Elusion, about the seductive nature of a perfect virtual world, continues as Regan goes deeper into the deceptive world. Full of mystery, romance, and intriguing technology, this Inception-inspired thriller is perfect for fans of dystopian and sci-fi novels such as Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Matched by Ally Condie, and Partials by Dan Wells. Regan and her friend Josh now know the truth about Elusion-but they, along with Regan's dad and other uses of Elusion, are stuck beyond the firewall in bleak Etherworld.
They must fight Elusion from within, but the longer they stay, the less likely they'll be able to return to the real world. And even if they do escape, the next battle to stop Elusion may be even more difficult. They'll face corporate cover-ups, personal betrayals, and the terrifying realization that the danger may have grown beyond anyone's control. What will it take to break free before the virtual world consumes them completely? Corporate Conspiracy: Regan's own father created Elusion, but now he's trapped alongside her, a prisoner of the very company he helped build.
A System That Fights Back: The deeper they go, the more the virtual world seems to anticipate their every move, turning their escape into a deadly battle against a self-aware enemy. Found Family: Trapped in the bleak digital landscape of Etherworld, Regan and Josh must unite with a small band of survivors to have any chance of making it out alive. High-Stakes Romance: With their lives on the line, the connection between Regan and Josh deepens as they rely on each other to survive the betrayals and dangers of Elusion.
