A perfect entry point into the Chronicles of Chaos.
The Game of War isn’t just dangerous. It knows how to beat you.
If Dantess wants to free his imprisoned father, he has no choice but to win it.
Held only once in a century, the Game of War is sacred and ruthless, each trial crafted to destroy those who cannot see through it. Strength alone has never won the Game. Understanding its hidden rules might.
As a priest of War, Dantess carries the memories of the warriors who came before him—knowledge that may help him survive. One of those voices belongs to his legendary grandfather.
His grandfather’s memories reveal a truth the temple buried, a truth that forces Dantess to confront a darkness that outlived the man who carried it.
He enters the Game to save his father, certain that victory will solve everything.
He is about to learn how wrong that belief can be.
