It arrived without warning.
A single, black envelope delivered to Anastasia's private residence—one that no one outside her family should have known existed.
The same envelope appeared for Vincent, slipping into his hands through a method so secure that even his most trusted subordinates couldn't trace how it had arrived.
Inside was a single, handwritten message:
"You have been noticed. You are invited to the Game. Come if you dare. Decline if you fear."
There was no signature. No location.
Just a symbol at the bottom—an insignia that neither of them had ever seen before.
But Vincent and Anastasia didn't need to be told what it was.
They already understood.
This wasn't a simple business invitation.
This was a challenge.
A summons to the most exclusive, most dangerous game in existence—the game that controlled the world.
And only the strongest were ever invited to play.
