4. Pawns in a Larger Game by E. Michael Brehm
It begins with a simple wager. To relieve the monotony of their immortal existence, Death and Fortune place a bet with one another, each claiming to be the more powerful god. To settle the matter, they elect to play a game of caissa. In the hands of the gods, however, the figures of alabaster and onyx—the castles, knights, cantors, kings, queens, avatars, and of course the pawns—are not merely pieces on a board, but rather human lives upon the mortal plane.
The prophecy reads: “Five will remain. The orphan, the divided, the heart, and the brave. They will be the final hope of mankind, and through them, all life will evolve.”
A group of five young adults discover they are the final descendants of an ancient race called the Old Immortals. The world has changed since their ancestors first walked the Earth. The Old Immortals have grown weaker with time, leaving all their power to funnel into their remaining descendants.
