"The Most Dangerous Game' is one of the Zoned Park's deadlier designs, " Ambassador Hazy told her, "but I assure you that it's not the most perilous game of all. The most dangerous game is what can happen at the intersection of religion and politics."  Nia Courant knows the truth of that. Years ago she fell into it on the other side of the stars, and it wrecked her life and ruined her career in interstellar law.
She took refuge in the space-station city called Wendis. The city spins around an interstellar amusement park where Nia has learned how to play dangerous games.  Now, to right an old wrong, she's leaving Wendis to face the most dangerous game again-with stakes even higher than before. Not only is an interstellar empire exploiting religion for its political ends, but there's a deranged god out there, one whose angels can meddle in politics anywhere-and who takes an ominous interest in Nia's past. Fortunately, she has an extraordinary ally. Gyle Night Martan has his own shadowed past and enemies no one would want.
He also has abilities that no one would guess. Nia and Martan set out across the stars together, intending to play the most dangerous game and win. Along the way-if they can stay free, unhurt, and alive-they hope to sort out their fraught romance and finally win at love as well.
