Master of the Arena (Headspace, #2)

Life as the seventh champion of Headspace is off to a rocky start as Nasmi Kol finds herself cast out from her world and family. With nowhere to turn, she takes refuge in the orb and becomes part of the games. Though she has no desire to sow chaos on other worlds, Nasmi-now Seven-soon finds a strange camaraderie and family among the other champions, each an outcast in their own right.

But life as a champion is anything but simple. A cruel fate awaits them all. As Seven's eyes open to the new champions and her heart hardens against the worlds that failed them, the need for change becomes increasingly and desperately obvious.

To save those who come after her, she must take matters into her own hands and change the course of the games once and for all. But what is the real cost of power and defying the way of the gods?

The second book in the Headspace series reveals the real story of the arena and the bigger universe behind it. The orb is full of secrets, even from those who inhabit it. Once upon a time, the games were different, and there was a very different Master of the Arena.
