Royals

by J.C. Ahern

New Match, New Rules, A Whole Different Ballgame After rising to queen, Rogue now must deal with a lot more than she bargained for. Royalty doesn’t just sit around and give orders in Skaki. No, the best of them participate in the much-acclaimed Grand Match that could change their race’s status forever—if they win. But no one except an Ilintian has ever won it. So it’s time for her to team up with an old friend, some new ones, and an unlikely ally to go for the gold. But this is no normal match. There is only one single-player winner. Meanwhile, in the Real, Jewel has challenges to face of her own. With Ronin gone, more and more of the other set members look to her for guidance. She is Rogue’s sister after all. But it’s not just them. For some reason, the other races keep seeking her out. Who are true allies? Who are enemies? It’s time for her to learn how to play the true game, the game that will determine the future of the whole human race.
