For centuries, the world's most powerful individuals had fought in the public eye—business moguls, kings, political leaders.
But behind them, in the darkness, there had always been another battle.
A hidden game played by those who truly ruled.
It was a game of influence, strategy, and deception.
A game where the wealthiest and most powerful figures were nothing more than pieces on a board, manipulated by those unseen.
A game that determined which nations rose and which fell.
Which companies thrived and which were destroyed.
And now, the hidden rulers of the world had acknowledged Anastasia and Vincent.
They had been deemed worthy enough to enter the battlefield.
But not as pawns.
No—as potential kings.
And if they wanted to claim the throne, they would have to prove themselves against the most dangerous players the world had ever seen.
