A world in which the devil rules. Pacts made by ancestors tie their descendants into the devil's game of surviving deaths to become immortal and gain fame, glory, wealth. Into this world enters Winter, unaware of her ancestor's actions or of her heredity. Thrust into this world where she is forced to partake, she must reach 666 deaths to become immortal. With her henge mage, Pete, she navigates this world with the support of the members of the Plato Foundation and her historian as they reach the point where their actions pit them against the Devil himself. In this year's games The Epictetus Dilemma, can they live? Or do they die trying?
