This thrilling digital prequel novella to Endgame: The Calling follows the lives of four of the twelve Players before they were chosen as the one to save their ancient bloodline - and win Endgame.

Before the Calling . . .

Marcus must choose between friendship and destiny. Chiyoko fights for what’s hers. Kala learns the price of love. And Alice finally understands what she’s Playing for.

They must shed their normal lives and transform into the Players they were meant to be. They must train, learn, prepare. To Play, survive, and solve. To kill or be killed.

Endgame is real. Endgame is coming. And only one can win.
