What do you do when the real enemy isn't the one standing in front of you? Ed Burnhelt and his grey-eyed adversary both know the truth: stopping their nations from war won't save anyone. Because in the shadows, something far worse is already growing. A cyborg goddess commands an empire of twisted flesh. Her mind-hacking flowers don't just kill. They corrupt, transforming victims into her mutated army. She's patient. Relentless. And she's already won battles Ed doesn't even know about yet. Ed's hyper powers make him nearly unstoppable. His family and allies bring magic and super-tech firepower. But raw power won't be enough against an enemy who rewrites minds and reshapes bodies at will. To save this world, Ed must push his abilities beyond their limits and work with old friends and new allies he does not trust. Because if they fail, the cyborg goddess will corrupt everything. All as part of the dire and ancient Game. The Players of the Game saga expands into bold new territory with this action-packed installment, featuring unforgettable characters and the epic magic-technology fusion at the heart of the series. Perfect for fans of Timothy Zahn, Brandon Sanderson, and Joe Abercrombie. Join the fight now.
