Adventure
Wherever you go, a battle awaits.
In a dystopian future, Mia sneaks into a construction site, hoping to take a selfie on the top floor of the building under construction. When she gets there, she encounters a man who seems to have been waiting for her; he gives her a business card with a telephone number and tells her “Call me when you’re ready”. Mia is fifteen and has always loved a challenge. So she did.
Mia is now in a strange place, the park of a deserted city she doesn’t know, involved in a bloody battle between Hunters and Prey.
- Bebe Vio, an Italian champion wheelchair fencer – who won an incredible gold medal at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Paralympics – emerges as the protagonist and model of willpower in this heart-stopping adventure.
- Heart and courage make the impossible possible.
