Jason dinAlt craves escape. A quiet vacation on Cassylia seems perfect—until a colossal stranger named Kerk Pyrrus pulls him into a proposition he can’t ignore. Twenty-seven million credits, a bankroll for a single night at the Casino, with one chilling condition: win three billion more, or face deadly consequences.
Pyrrus doesn’t care how Jason wins, only that he does. As Jason delves deeper into this dangerous game, he uncovers a hidden world of ambition, desperation, and a fortune built on secrets mined from a distant planet. He’s outdrawn at his own game for the first time in his life, forced to trust a man who promises everything and threatens oblivion.
With every roll of the dice, Jason risks not just his winnings, but his very survival. Is Pyrrus a fool with endless money, or a master manipulator leading him into a trap? In a universe where luck is fleeting and danger lurks around every corner, one thing is certain: tonight, Jason dinAlt will gamble for everything—including his life.
