    About this ebook

    The gods have played the Great Game for eons, and worlds have hung in the balance.  Some worlds have survived, some have been destroyed, and some of the playing fields have existed in a draw. 

    The last game nearly brought about the destruction of man anf god alike, requiring drastic measures to reset the board.  Now, the current iteration of the Great Game draws to a close, the winner nearly decided.  All the gods have played their parts, save one. 

    The God of Chaos has been unbound, the rules granting him one last move...  But this particular god hates doing what is expected.

      EXCERPT:

      You? Daughter, what move do you wish to make that would change the course of my victory? asked Therraz.

      I? None. However, by the rules we all follow, there is one who has not yet had the opportunity to act in this round, replied Ayliaster, daughter of Therraz, goddess of love.
