In a world where the boundaries between the divine and the mundane blur, the narratives crafted by Kage Baker explore the intricate dynamics of power within the Company. Each of the eight stories unveils a rich tapestry of characters navigating their roles, oscillating between god-like figures and mere pawns in a grand game controlled by unseen influences.

As the characters grapple with their identities and moral dilemmas, they reveal the often harsh realities that accompany immortality and the burdens of responsibility. Readers are invited to journey through time and space, engaging with thought-provoking themes that challenge the nature of existence itself, as well as the cost of playing the game at all.
