She suspects The Trio Trust, a collection of creepy mega-companies that now rule the United States, made Mango disappear. A text lures Valentine to a magical boba shop, which comes to life and tells Valentine she is now a a member of the General Employee Network of Immortal Engineers, an underground workforce run by the Trio Trust. Genies may only leave their bottles to grant the wishes of mortals. With each granted wish, The Trio Trust gains more magic, and so the Trio hosts a glamorous wish-granting competition, rewarding top players with fabulous prizes. The twist?

Why is a magical monster stomping through her home city of Gloss Angeles? And why does the Trio Trust seem so afraid of 13-year-old Valentine Adesanya?
