Esteban Garde is a professional at losing. As a broke ex-postman with a lifelong streak of bad luck, he thought he’d seen the worst the world had to offer. He was wrong. When a mysterious rusty key leads him into "The Boundary"—a dark, mirrored version of his own city—he discovers that Luck isn't just a concept; it's a lethal currency. In the Boundary, reality is governed by the laws of probability, and "Gamblers" wage war against Misfortunes using supernatural abilities known as Bets. Thrust into a team of elite players—a girl with a Tarot scythe and a man who controls time with a chronograph—Esteban finds himself labeled as the "Seventh." His only weapon? Three rusty cents and a silver-eyed intuition he doesn't understand. In a game where the house always wins and the "Lucks" of the overworld are at stake, Esteban has to figure out his own Bet before his luck finally runs out for good. The Ante is in. Are you ready to play?
