When the rows of Olympians march in Achens, Jillian Shomer will have to make a terrible decision--life, death, victory. With victory comes glory. But an intense price will be extracted from both the winners and the losers, because within seven years, 97% of them will be dead. For Jillian, the stakes are the entire world.
