The Deadly Invitation

In the sun-scorched fields of the southern United States, beneath the sprawling oaks dripping with Spanish moss, a clandestine society thrived. It was the era of excess, where shoulder pads rose as high as ambitions, and greed coursed through every vein of American enterprise. But not all sought riches through traditional means. Some preferred a darker path, one paved with danger, death, and the thrill of mastery.

In this place, a tournament unfolded-a deadly contest that promised its victor two prizes: one million dollars and a place within the shadowy echelon of international assassins, a group known only as The Order of the Red Dagger.
