He never looked back. These are the people who could not look away. Across realms where magic and machine collide, Ashe Stelfire takes what he wants. A vault, a weapon, a favor owed. He leaves the rest to whoever is still standing. A mother who left him. A woman wearing a face that is not hers. A daughter he agreed never to meet. A mercenary who always collects. A hunter in red armor who owes him nothing. Some were used. Some were owed. Not one of them came away unchanged. And someone watches from the edges. Biding his time. Weighing whether the pyromancer is interesting enough to use. He is patient. Ashe is not. Between the two of them, everyone else pays. These stories run alongside Repenter, Book One of Players of the Game. Read them in either order. The Players of the Game series is perfect for fans of The Wheel of Time and The Avengers.
