What would you do if you discovered your life wasn't your own, but a piece in an ancient, ruthless game?
Seventeen-year-old Jade has been surrounded by demons her entire life. She has lived with them for so long she no longer asks why they are there or why they terrorize her every day; she only knows she is their plaything, and there is nothing she can do about it.
Beside her walks an angel whose task-to support and help her-is anything but easy. Jade does not see her creator as a loving father, but as an executioner who forced her into a horrendous game without her consent.
She is one of "The Seven": pawns in a contest that has spanned centuries. Every seven years, seven humans are granted incredibly valuable gifts at birth, unaware they possess them. In this game, angels and demons act only as advisors; the humans are the players. They must navigate a world where rules are learned through trial and error, and the slightest mistake leads to certain death.
In Jade's case, her fatal move was falling in love with her predator. And his greatest mistake? Falling in love with her.
The board is set. The players are ready. In this game, love is the deadliest error.
