Twelve Players. Young descendants of ancient families from which all humanity originates. For ten thousand years the Lines have been preparing their children for the Last Game. They have no superpowers: they cannot fly, turn lead into gold, or heal wounds. When death comes to them, they die. So do we all. They are the heirs of the Earth, and only they can solve the Great Mystery of Salvation. One of them must do this, otherwise we all face death.
