--House of Cards--

by A.J. McKenzie

Synopsis:

The Hearts. The Spades. The Diamonds. The Clubs.

Each is a crucial part of the Suit government--a powerful system that has ruled over the continent of Roulette for three consecutive centuries with only a single battle botching their history. They are a powerful force, a formidable opponent, a government that is well known for their harsh and sometimes over-the-top ways of dealing with Roulette’s citizens. Many respect them, but many more would love to see them gone.

 

Enter the Jokers: a rebel group that strongly opposes the Suits and everything they stand for. Word of their existence spread like wildfire through Roulette. The group that had started as an idealistic trio quickly grew into a nationwide resistance. Within one week of their creation, they had struck the Suits’ system so hard that each is left as an equal in power, sending both the government and the citizens into a panic.

 

As the Suits desperately try to regain the power they had upheld for hundreds of years, paranoia and distrust pit them against each other, adding certain hatred in the place where alliances used to lie. The Jokers only add to the stress, pushing the four Suits closer towards starting fights they don’t want any part of.

 

The Suits are falling.

A war is brewing, and no one can do anything about it.
