A world built by a goddess. A universe thirsty for chaos. Their eternal game is now a war fought with black crystals-artifacts that promise godhood and spread a corruption that breaks minds and kingdoms.
On the run is Tom, a boy who doesn't know he is Augustine, the youngest son of a noble house slaughtered and scattered.
Bound to him is Pha, an ancient firebird spirit, teaching him to see the fate-threads that bind all things.
Waiting in her sky-touching tree is Marie, a blindfolded girl whose quiet power may be the key to healing a fractured world.
And hunting them all is Picas-a spymaster who rose from slave to shadow-king, who commands legions of soulless puppets, and who will burn the world to claim the crystals' power.
As a nation of magic and machinery prepares for war, and a warrior mother searches through shattered memories, the final move begins.
Wildcard Theoria is a sweeping epic where choices echo across centuries. The crystals are singing. The threads are fraying. Will anyone be left to mend what breaks?
