A Plain-Dealing Villain
It's hard to make a
dishonest buck in Sin City, especially when a rogue FBI agent is gunning for your head. Flat broke and one step ahead of the law, Daniel Faust
flees Vegas and lands in Chicago, where a risky heist promises to fill
his pockets with cash.
There are the risks you can account for,
and then there are the risks you never see coming, the ones that leave
you blindsided and fighting to survive. Daniel is a stranger in a
strange land, out of his element and surrounded by corrupt sorcerers,
demons, and worse. Still, with a friend's soul hanging in the balance - not to mention a pile of stolen cash - giving up isn't an option.
Before he's done, Daniel will descend into the depths of Chicago's occult
netherworld, competing in an underground poker tournament where the
winner takes all... and with the infernal Court of Night-Blooming Flowers running the show, "winner takes all" has an entirely new meaning. The
Flowers haven't forgotten Daniel's past insults, and if they get their
way, he'll never leave the Windy City alive.
