Colm is a college dropout stuck in a dead-end job and convinced the world has already passed him by. Then a chance encounter leads him to a mysterious shop, where he is given an enchanted die on one condition: use it to help a young woman named Rye find her way home.

The rules seem simple. Even rolls grant a wish. Odd rolls steal a year of his life. Colm is skeptical until temptation wins and the die gives him exactly what he asks for. Suddenly the magic is real, the cost is real, and he is bound to something far darker than luck.

Drawn into Rye’s supernatural world and pursued by enemies hunting for Lady Luck herself, Colm must find a way to break the curse before the die claims his life and the power over fate falls into the wrong hands. Fate is the game. The rules are cruel.
