After a bizarre clerical error ends his life, Damian Graymoore does not find himself in the afterlife he expected, but instead thrust into a merciless game orchestrated by Ludus, the unpredictable god of games. This isn't heaven or hell—it's something far more dangerous. Reincarnated as a Scrittle, a peculiar little creature at the bottom of the food chain, Damian is both physically weak and totally ignorant of the brutal world that awaits him. A world that could easily claim his life once more with even the slightest of mistakes.
