"In the final book of the Great Game trilogy, Edward Exeter has accepted his destiny - he has decided to become the Liberator. Taking on all the "gods" of Nextdoor's pantheon, he leads a crusade that sweeps through the world. But can he defeat the gods who have been playing their game for centuries? And if he can, what will he have to sacrifice?"
