Deja Ortega

Oddsbreaker

By: Sarah Bylund

Narrated by: Carmilla Jo

When daregivers pay, oddsbreakers play.

Pretending is all too easy for oddsbreaker Deja Ortega. As the daughter of a carnie troupe performer and a professional chef who traveled from planet to planet, Deja draws on a lifetime of skills to help her survive even the highest pressure situations. Whether it's sneaking into a couture fashion event, surviving a terrorist attack on the streets, or competing in a galactic food competition, she's ready for it all.

But Deja isn't an oddsbreaker for the thrill. She wants nothing more than to save her papá from debtors' prison. This time, if Deja wants to get paid, she'll have to sell the performance of a lifetime. Even if doing so leads her through the thick of a murder plot.
