'The gun was cold and hard against the back of his skull. 'I'm very sorry,' the voice said. 'But I have a question for you.' Pic Guerye fought the urge to scream for help, to try to turn around, to grab for the gun. Instead, he slowly raised his palms. Ten seconds ago, he'd been selecting spreadsheets to transfer from his laptop to his phone. Now there was a gunman in his study. That's how quick your life can change, he thought. 'Where is Agent Six of Hearts?' the voice asked. Six of Hearts has been trapped in a time loop. When he returns four years, five weeks and one day later, the world he knew has changed forever. The Deck has been decimated. King is older - more broken. Kyntak no longer works for the Deck, and Ace is no longer the person Six left behind. And in this bleak new world, death is not as final as once it was.' (Publication summary)
