Dark Creatures Series - Author Visit | |
|
In the first book, A Simple Game, Janus starts the game of Dark Creatures in which gods choose unsuspecting humans to act as their pawns and play for life and death. When the rules for winning are ambiguous, the humans are suddenly caught up in a contest of good versus evil and their game begins to spiral out of control.
In The Grand Game, three new Gods join Janus in the madness. What other horrors will they encounter as they strive to survive? During the game the town of Millten, Wisconsin as well as the whole of creation is on the line. Is there another force at work that may tip the balance of power and doom all the the worlds to darkness?
