Description

This seventh prequel novella begins an all-new digital original arc in the Endgame world and follows a forbidden love that threatens Endgame in post-World War II Germany.

Humanity rests on the shoulders of twelve Players. But when the lives of a Cahokian Player and a Minoan Player intertwine over the search for an ancient weapon in post-World War II Berlin, the last thing they expect is to let their guard down, and fall in love. Now the success of their lines—and the fate of the world—is threatened.

But this is Endgame. And only one can win.

This heart-stopping novella arc takes place prior to the events in the New York Times bestseller Endgame: The Calling.


  • Enemies to Allies: He’s a Cahokian Player. She’s a Minoan. They were sent to eliminate a target, not each other—or fall in love in the tense, divided city of 1948 Berlin.
  • Forbidden Romance: In a world where love is a liability, their unexpected connection could cost them their mission, their lives, and the future of their lines.
  • Cold War Suspense: Navigate rubble-strewn streets where Soviet MGB agents and hidden agendas wait around every corner, and no one can be trusted.
  • Alien Technology: The target they’re both hunting holds the key to an ancient weapon of immense power, a secret the Nazis unearthed and one that could change the rules of Endgame forever.
