The gods have come out to play, and they are looking for champions... In a world dominated by men the gods have decided the time is ripe for their return to the game. But their methods are deceptive; the game pieces are not made of marble or stone, but of flesh and bone. Donovan, a trader of furs, longs for adventure and glory. His wanderlust leads him into deadly twists of fate, and before long he is not the one moving his own game piece. A loving mother, a new father, and unusual teachers all guide Donovan's life in a direction unknown to anyone...save for the gods... ...who all want him for themselves.
