“That’s the Game, Dante. That’s called winning.”
“It isn’t a game when the person who is losing can’t eat.”
In the Cassino Region, every adult is assigned their rank through the drawing of a card from a standard deck. The higher the drawn card, the higher the rank, meaning more privileges and prospects in the Game.
Tessa Gamble, a born and raised Elite, was taught to believe in the fairness of this system. However, she soon learns that all is not as it seems. Why do the Elite stay Elite? How do they benefit from a Game of their design?
Determined, Tessa decides to change the system that benefits so few, or die trying, even if the powers that be need her to lose. She learns that you’re not only as good as the cards you’re dealt; you just need to change the Game.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I had the privilege of reading an early release of this novel and all I can say is get it pre-ordered immediately! This book is great for any fan of your typical dystopian fantasies, it's got all your favourite tropes and themes but with J.J. Marr's unique twists and turns every page will have you telling yourself "just one more chapter!". Perfect for readers of The Hunger Games, The Shadow Game series, or Victoria Aveyard's work, this book manages to simultaneously be a comfort read and a refreshing take on the genre. Eagerly anticipating the sequel!
