For two years. Two years away from her parents looking down on her, and not having to listen to her siblings and their success? Done.  There is only one problem… Chloe’s avatar connects to a Goddess of Retribution who doesn’t remember her past. Following the rabbit trail of armor to help the goddess will require more responsibility from Chloe than she has ever accepted in the past.
