About the Book

For many millenia the gods have been playing their game. With the humanoids as their ponds the great chess match between the seven children of the creator ignored their mother's hints at her dissatisfactions. They continued to move forward as they believed only in themselves.

Mother Gia could see it spiraling out of control. Then, when the blood of an Ancient One was spilled, she became boiled in rage. A rage that moved her to react like they had never seen before. The "Game of the Gods" was about to change.

Seven perfect game pieces were created. Seven humanoids made to represent the gods in a final show down, and Mother Gia watching in the shadows, refereeing the match as she trembled to see what advantage she could use to bring balance back to the universe!

A balance that if not met, could destroy the very fabric of time and space. An ultimate dictate that Mother Gia would achieve. If not, she was ready to start over. She even was considering the elimination of her children, as well as, the entire universe. The mortals' very existence rested with these seven game pieces, as well!
