Nyxia Unleashed picks up from the moment we left off in the first book, with Emmett plummeting to the planet after being forced to fight Roathy for his chance at a lifetime of wealth.

Nyxia is The Hunger Games meets Ender’s Game meets Red Rising. Nyxia Unleashed delivers on a lot of what was promised in Nyxia – namely, ALIENS – but it also manages to fall short in a few ways.
