Richelle Mead, the #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street
Journal bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and Bloodlines YA
series—whose books have sold more than one million copies in
hardcover—debuts on the Dutton list with Gameboard of the Gods, the
first novel in her Age of X series.
In a futuristic world nearly destroyed by religious extremists,
Justin March lives in exile after failing in his job as an
investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims. But Justin
is given a second chance when Mae Koskinen comes to bring him back
to the Republic of United North America (RUNA). Raised in an
aristocratic caste, Mae is now a member of the military’s most elite
and terrifying tier, a soldier with enhanced reflexes and skills.
When Justin and Mae are assigned to work together to solve a string
of ritualistic murders, they soon realize that their discoveries
have exposed them to terrible danger. As their investigation races
forward, unknown enemies and powers greater than they can imagine
are gathering in the shadows, ready to reclaim the world in which
humans are merely game pieces on their board.
Gameboard of the Gods, the first installment of Richelle Mead’s Age
of X series, will have all the elements that have made her YA
Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series such megasuccesses: sexy,
irresistible characters; romantic and mythological intrigue; and
relentless action and suspense.
