Maverick Heller is just a normal human in a world full of the superpowered, but he's determined to find freedom and financial security. Using his unrivaled intellect, he earns a scholarship to the best college in the world, a school for the rich elite who use intellect, wealth and strength to plan the hierarchy of the next generation.
Caught between wars of powerful families, politicians and gangs, and forced to choose between finding a place to belong or submitting to those above him, Mave discovers his connection to the supernatural world is deeper than he ever imagined, in ways he didn't know.
To survive, he enters the G.M.A.C. — the Global Martial Arts Competition for All. Will he be able to survive, or will he bow to this gilded order?
