  In a world of magic and a deadly game, Artyom Abernathy and Ivan Elrod make an alliance--combine Artyom's impressive brains and brawn with Ivan's charm and skill to fabricate a lie of romance to gain sympathy and popularity for better survival chances in the Triple M Trials. But what happens when a deal originally destined for ash turns into a one-sided want for true love and the feel of his hands in his?
