"In a world of ‘Betrayals,’ the mysterious Great Game has replaced everything: science, art, politics, and religion.
Talented students prepare to play the Game in the ancient academy ‘Monver,’ hidden deep in the mountains. Once Leo Martin studied there, but the young man lost interest in the Game because of a dark tragedy. Now, though, Leo returns to the academy.
Over the years, ‘Monver’ has changed. Now the Game’s Magister is a woman—Claire Dryden. The first time Leo sees Claire, he feels a strange connection with her, even though they’ve never met before.
What secret lies in their past? Who is behind the Great Game, and what awaits the winners and the losers?”
