Within the lands of the True Game, humans have come to possess any combination of eleven different "talents." Beguiling, flight, firestarting, healing, necromancy, power storing, precognition, shapeshifting, telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation. People can have complete control over only one ability, or moderate levels of up to four.

The world is rife with the talented but it's usually rare to find two of the exact same combinations of talents. What's in store for them, especially in the lands of the Sapphire Domain, where King Willem Strongheart currently reigns? The domain seems just a little too perfect. What could be being hidden within its borders?

The Sapphire Domain has been unscathed by games for the last ten years. Some say he's the most intelligent, tactical and all around best ruler the Sapphire Domain has ever had. Others wonder just what powers he holds that have kept him and his contingency from ever losing a battle. Whispers abound: is he hiding something? Is there a greater power than his? But the real question is, how much longer can his winning streak last?
IT'S NOT JUST A GAME WHEN YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
