The Game of Noctis
Deva Fagan
Twelve-year-old Pia Paro lives in Dantessa, an island city-state where game skills determine access to resources. Although its rules claim to make society fair, wealthy players can buy advantages, while people whose skills fall to zero become laboring pawns. Pia’s grandfather becomes a pawn as failing eyesight affects his play. To earn enough to restore his status, Pia joins Vittoria’s unlikely team for the annual Noctis competition and begins questioning the system she once accepted.
