Publisher's Synopsis
A Game of Trust. A Life of Lies.
When Cole, a part-time vagabond and full-time brother, finally finds a battle he can't win, an unusual ally comes to his aid. While his skills are good to win a fight, the stranger's vast knowledge of Cole and his lifestyle is alarming. Cole and Lyla find refuge with their new friend in the home they've never known. The rolling hills smell of honeysuckle, and the cottage is overflowing with food. The odd man tends to their every need and lets them roam the land freely. It all seems too good to be true. With a little digging, Cole and Lyla unearth harrowing secrets and a prophecy that will haunt the rest of their lives. Pieces fall into place faster than a chess game. How can there be accidents in a game ordained by the bizarre wizard?
