Blurb From The Publisher:
In a futuristic world nearly destroyed by religious extremists, Justin March lives in exile after failing in his job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims. But Justin is given a second chance when Mae Koskinen comes to bring him back to the Republic of United North America (RUNA). Raised in an aristocratic caste, Mae is now a member of the military’s most elite and terrifying tier, a soldier with enhanced reflexes and skills.
When Justin and Mae are assigned to work together to solve a string of ritualistic murders, they soon realize that their discoveries have exposed them to terrible danger. As their investigation races forward, unknown enemies and powers greater than they can imagine are gathering in the shadows, ready to reclaim the world in which humans are merely game pieces on their board.
Gameboard of the Gods, the first installment of Richelle Mead’s Age of X series, will have all the elements that have made her YA Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series such megasuccesses: sexy, irresistible characters; romantic and mythological intrigue; and relentless action and suspense.

flowers?”

investigate, unleashing a girth of questions that quickly got him exiled from
his homeland. Cast off from his homeland of RUNA, a highly desired country ripe
with insecurities of its populous. Justin has been struggling to survive in
another country that has a great dislike for individuals, since many societies
are built on a caste system, or ideological dynamics such as Justin had
previously investigated for his government, and staying alive is his new
belief. With gods hunting them, one inhabiting him; keeping sane is
complicated.

populous, Mae is finding that she may have been given a tricky assignment.

technicalities. Now as Mae comes into his life, those technicalities are put on
the line as he soon realizes that not only may Mae be under the influence of
gods also, but she may be the woman that he has had prophesized by his god’s
ravens which inhabit his body. The plot thickens has Mae keeps strong in her
country RUNA’s beliefs of no gods, even as events around her are becoming

warnings of the ravens which inhabit him as he becoming more entangled into the
mystical world, dragging Mae forefront into her fears of gods and their devout
subjects.
