Lucy Mason only wanted to buy playing cards for her sister's birthday. Instead she got seven personifications of the cards in her basement, a knife held to her throat, and taken to a war-torn world full of dangerous beings and creatures. Now forced to get the cards back or risk execution, Lucy will have to find allies in the most dangerous parts of this new world; including a clever herald, a bitter archer, a cheerful prince, and a crazed card dealer. And as she gets to know these magical cards, she starts to wonder: is she even on the right side? And is the Joker's Game really worth playing?
