Whether by one situation or another they given up on living either waiting for the end or have attempted the end.
When one day, each of these 23 people received a tarot card, thus inviting them to a contest known as the Arcane Gambit, a battle royal using a card game as their medium of combat.
Each contestant is to represent one of the 22 major arcana, and form a contract with a lingering spirit to fight as their partner, (Their Manifest) in this contest, the last one standing will receive one wish, to change their fate.

For Her Favor
"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.Complete
