Description

This second thrilling digital prequel novella to Endgame: The Calling follows the lives of four of the twelve Players before they were chosen as the one to save their ancient bloodline—and win Endgame.

Before the Calling . . .


Twelve Players-in-training are tested to the very edge of their physical and mental abilities. Endgame: The Training Diaries Volume 2: Descendant follows Baitsakhan, Maccabee, Shari, and Aisling, as they prepare for the apocalyptic game they may or may not be chosen to take part in.

They must shed their normal lives and transform into the Players they were meant to be.


They must train, learn, prepare.

To Play, survive, and solve.


To kill or be killed.

Endgame is real.


Endgame is coming.

And only one can win.
