The Sims Tournament isn’t just a chance. It may be their only way out.


In a crumbling future Chicago, siblings Clera and Elio Diaz have learned one thing: survival means sacrifice. Clera works endless factory shifts, while Elio ditches school for dangerous jobs in the city’s sewers. But when a sudden explosion destroys their home and takes their mother, the fragile life they’ve built shatters.

Homeless and desperate, Elio sets his sights on his secret goal. A high-stakes gaming tournament with an out-of-this-world grand prize. A ticket to a new life on an off-Earth colony. He’s never played before, but he’s sure he can win. While Clera struggles to rebuild their lives, unaware of his plans, Elio bets everything on a risky gamble.

With nothing left but each other, can they evade a dangerous gang and carve out a new future amidst grief? Will they risk everything for a dream that may reach as far away as the stars?

One chance to play. One shot to win. One choice that could change everything.

For readers who love dark, futuristic worlds with a touch of romance.
