Tamynaen Jacob is no ordinary half-elf, even by Astyerian's standards. Born in the Dead Lands of the largest port city in Anstendre, TJ has been left with the task of raising himself and his little sister's - which isn't easy with the challenging caste system, addict mother, and his own inner demons always running rampant in his life. That's all before the night he dies and his disbelief in the gods is altered forever. Atropos and Lucvoyeur have a game and the latest is about to end while the new one is about to begin. TJ is the prize - although he doesn't know it yet. The only question is, how long can the winner hold him?
