Jessica always wanted to lead soldiers in battle, and practices martial arts while teaching medieval tactics to live out her dreams. Little does she know, her skills as a leader on the field of battle are in demand by watchers from above, and her dreams, and nightmares, are about to come true.
Seeking the very best Earth has to offer, humanity’s mysterious trustee, the being responsible for our fate on the intergalactic stage, sends Jessica an offer she can’t refuse.
Now, thrust into the arenas of the Shellworld, put in command of cloned soldiers, Jessica and her fellow human commanders must lead armies to victory.

To lose is unthinkable, but with their enemies closing in, victory just might be worse…
