A Raven's Game of Change

Cover art: Will Schwarzburg (me!)  The world is in ruins, and in the last stronghold of civilization a deadly curse strikes down the young and steals their lives. For generations, the cure has been out of their grasp. The Lords must now forge from steel the new generation to rise up against the menace. Welcome to the Game of Life.  Faoros, a prodigious science student at the Academy, is baffled by its suffocating leadership. Eager to fulfill his dream of eradicating the Curse and freeing himself from the Lords, he enters the Game. However, he is woefully unprepared when a sentient simulation approaches him, offering him the power to bring his imagination to life and revealing the truth about the Lords' true purpose. What to Expect: In A Raven's Game of Change, a young student’s curiosity and defiance lead him to challenge his current self and explore adulthood. Expect science fiction to blend with fantasy and swords to clash with guns. Faoros' profound ability to reshape reality grows stronger, but the real question is whose reality and what version of it?
