A young-adult fiction novel written by a young-adult, Olivia Beattie (15). What is paradise? Does 'paradise' even exist? Could it be a place, or perhaps a state of being? A private high school steeped in corruption plays as the backdrop as an unlikely bunch of teenagers ends up in the Virtual Board Gaming club, and each of them begins to ponder those very questions. Amidst the rapidly increasing chaos on the compromised campus, the Virtual Board Gaming club-secretly known as the Paradise Syndicate-is planning a school-wide revolution, and no member will be left unchanged. But in all of this, will their questions find answers? And just what, exactly, are the shrouded origins of the curious syndicate?
