A gloomy atmosphere has settled over the land and their grandpa’s usually delicious mooncakes instead taste horrible and bitter, insulting the prince who tastes them.

Schmidt delivers an unforgettable adventure set in the Ming Dynasty about sibling bonds and the importance of the past. The beautifully illustrated cover by artist Feifei Ruan shows the twins riding a floating cloud, whose softly curved edges shine with printed gloss.

Failure. Abuse. Loss. Pain. That is what Warterria brings, that is what the remaining players of this deadly game have experienced. And that is why so many are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Every human in Warterria has their own life to live and they aren’t willing to give up on it so easily. With their dreams, goals, beliefs, and desires on the line, everything is coming to a head. So with the final stage set, it only makes sense for the self-conscious Rift to challenge the condescending god, Vokai, to one more game. A game between man and god that will decide the outcome of how everything else will go for the humans trapped in Warterria. Will everything Rift learned and experienced be enough to topple a god or will centuries of godly gaming knowledge overwhelm this one human? Will the humans finally be free of this gaming torment, will the three gods finally proclaim one of them as the true god of games, or will human unpredictability flip everything on its head in this heart-pounding conclusion of a god’s game?
