With a handful of stolen cards, Ernie has just been made an unwilling player in a game of good versus evil.

Suddenly Ernieās matching wits and plays with the supernatural Immortal Dealers, who can raise empires, damn souls, and shape the worldās destiny. Itās up to Ernie to defeat the most brutal member of their order. And if her roguish new ally isnāt bluffing, he can help. The mystery is all in the cards, and to save her life - and humanity - Ernie had better learn how to deal.
