About the Book

In a world on the brink of madness...

In the summer of 1914, a young man beyond eeproach awakens under police guard – grievously injured and accused of heinous, impossible murder.

And in a strange, distant place...

The youngest member of a penniless acting troupe has been taken prisoner by the loyal minions of a corrupt, vengeful goddess. For an ancient prophecy has divided the realm's ruling Deities into warring factions – a prophecy that mentions the crippled captive child... and a youth recovering from inexplicable wounds in a British hospital bed.

The Game weaves through worlds and dimensions as it has since time immemorial – a deadly contest of skill and manipulations that ruthlessly creates wizards, destroys human pawns... and transforms ordinary men, women and children into something more.
