The Chess Game in the Abyss
Black Cliff Prison houses the three thousand most dangerous female inmates in the entire state. On my first day as warden, every guard kept warning me about one name — Elara Vane, Inmate 0421. Her file showed she had orchestrated three riots and once snapped a male guard's jaw with her bare hands. After being transferred here, she was locked in the deepest solitary cell. Three weeks have passed, and she has never stopped testing my limits. Yet I've begun to sense something: she isn't sowing chaos — she's playing a game that is far longer and deeper than it seems. I've decided to meet this woman they call "Ice Blade" face to face.
