A Dangerous Game

Blade Runner meets Rollerball crossed with the classic short story, The Most Dangerous Game.

In a future afflicted by war, social upheaval, and climate change, three people living on a knife's edge play the only game they've ever known. Survival at any cost.

Welcome to New City, a smog-choked metropolis once called Manhattan. Rebuilt from the ruins of a civil war, the isle is now ruled by the Council of Twelve, representing five foreign powers. Yorker citizens fight for their place in a city with no room for the weak. Non-citizens are forced into the Ten Fingers, a lawless walled-off ghetto where life is cheap and almost anything goes… unless you can escape.

Benedict Haven brawled his way out by enslaving himself to the sport of Bullseye, a brutal arena contest where most players die young. At thirty-three he knows the end is near… and seeks a second life without the game.

Natalia Jones was born a poor 'clusterfolk' in ‘The Ten’, but hard work and perseverance earned her a jewelry shop in the underground markets. Her trips to the rich Upside fueled dreams of a better life, dreams that just might get her killed.

Horace Nine was a child of war, the son of a legendary resistance fighter. As an underworld enforcer he wages a battle against anyone standing in his way, but an orphan girl forces him to fight for something greater.

Over the course of a smoldering week their lives dramatically crisscross, leading them to discover a secret about the broken world in which they live. A secret only the elites know and one that its despotic ruler, Titus Romanov, would kill to keep that way-- leading to an unlikely alliance that could change their lives-- and New City, forever.

A Dangerous Game is about the powerless discovering their place in the world-- and then fighting for what they believe in. It's about the games our rulers play, and how the only way to beat them is to not break the rules but make up your own.
