Dire Wolf

In the future, assassins can kill you online. 

Sixteen-year-old Liana Ressel has to save her orphanage. 

Alexandra Price needs to save her family's business. 

Duncan Christianson is going to destroy them both. 

Liana Ressel 

Things have started to go very wrong at the all-girl orphanage in Malawi, Africa, where Liana lives. For starters, the beloved leader of the orphanage has disappeared, leaving Liana in charge. Immediately following her disappearance, Duncan Christianson forces authorities to issue an eviction notice against the orphanage so he can expand his mine. If Liana can't figure out how to save the orphanage, 153 girls will be out on the street. 

Alexandra Price 

Twenty-one-year-old super-billionaire Alexandra Price wants to give back. Her plan is to gather brilliant teenagers from underprivileged parts of the world, give them assets, and see if they can generate new ideas to help the world's poor. Her problem is that her dad has short-funded her project to teach her a lesson. There is no way her plan can work unless she can find the right person to lead the team. 

Can they beat Christianson? 

Liana agrees to join Alex's team. But coming together makes it that much easier for Christianson to hunt them down online.... 

If you like virtual reality action like Ernest Cline's Ready Player One or Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, then you'll love a series that pits the members of Dire Wolf in an all-out online battle against the best virtual jockeys in the world.
