“My candle burns on both ends; It will not last the night. But ah my foes, and oh my friends, It gives a lovely light!” <br /> <br /> It is now 30 days until Grace’s Deathday <br /> <br /> That is the fate on the red card Grace was dealt at age six on Dealing Day. A burner. Her twin sister, Millay, was dealt a white card. A People. No Deathday. <br /> <br /> For twenty years, the sisters have lived different lives. In different places. <br /> <br /> Then there’s the wild card, Ryker, a burner, who has no memories of his own past. <br /> <br /> In what was left of the world after the Chaos, mankind surrendered control to Dealer, a powerful computer that has kept society running for centuries. <br /> <br /> But truths don’t come easy. And everyone and everything is not as they appear. <br /> <br /> The mantra in following Dealer’s edicts: It is what it is. <br /> <br /> Until today. <br /> <br /> “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world!”
