The Ballad of Chalice Rayne: Book Two of the Dragon's Game Trilogy

What would you do with accidentally acquired supernatural talents? Hit the poker tables? Develop a stage act? Or - if you're rebellious enough by nature - maybe you'd like to try derailing a scheduled false terror event and invoking the wrath of Earth's unseen rulers, the so-called Shadow Masters? Chalice Rayne and Roman Novato's joint decision to go with harassing the powers that be has set them on the run as The Ballad of Chalice Rayne opens, dodging invisible killer drones, superhuman assassins and deadly assaults from particle beam satellites. Reunited with the resilient alien friends Leks and Quinara in Gibraltar, the quartet quickly find themselves in the crosshairs of several formidable pursuers at once and are forced to trust enigmatic immortals Alessandro Cagliostro and Weldon Redcape, a.k.a. The Count of St. Germain. Whether this is a smart move or not is debatable, as the heroic foursome is soon split up and hurled across space and time to face challenges beyond their wildest nightmares. The Ballad of Chalice Rayne is a thundering ride through the world of monsters: human, semi-human and so far from human as to stagger the imagination. Ballad is a tale of human minds attempting to come to terms with the truly staggering truths behind not only our Earth but the cosmos itself. Ballad is a careening train on a collision course with the incredible and unbelievable. A look behind the mirrored facade of humanity at the mysterious and powerful forces behind it all. A very scary look. You've been warned.
