Prepared to battle alongside her best friend in a globally televised magical tournament, she’s left alone and betrayed when he drops her to compete with a more popular player. With her fandom dwindling as she hunts for another teammate, she risks it all by pairing up with a handsome stranger wielding a surprisingly dangerous deck.

But despite his best efforts to crash and burn, he’s shocked when his incredible partner single-handedly starts raking in the wins for the underdog team.
As Leena’s bold new playstyle sends her popularity soaring, her determination to prove her skills threatens to trample her growing feelings for Agon. And while their winning streak endangers Agon’s plan, he fears helping Leena in her quest means losing her forever.
Can these two defeat their opponents and still win a future together?
