Memento Mori (Cyberpunk/LitRPG)

Welcome to the gladiocracy: a futuristic society where the strongest warriors rule as celebrity kings and tyrants. To those at the top goes prestige, power, and absolute rule. But teenage gunslinger Emilia Mori was born at the bottom. Dealt the life of a street rat in neon-soaked hell, Mori swore to do whatever necessary to survive. By eighteen, she’s thriving on the reputation of a daredevil, wrangled the apprenticeship of master gunslinger Sarah Morninghawk, and taking any job her undercity home throws her way- the riskier, the better. The only things holding her back are Sarah’s heart of gold and dreams of finally uniting the Vents, the exploited and crime-ridden underbelly of their futuristic metropolis. Yet she’s not the only one with eyes on the underworld. Hoping to conquer the undercity for their own aims, the foreign crime syndicate Dynasty has no intention of letting the Vents organize itself in a quest for liberation. The syndicate quickly envelops the undercity’s eight gang lords in an all-out war of succession. And Mori, caught right in the center of the conflict, finds herself swept up in the tide of criminal politics and tribal gangster warfare… Memento Mori is the standalone prequel to the FRAY series, and is followed by Showmaker. The final chapter aired on 2/3/24.
