The quarterback is struggling. Nobody can explain it. Dom has to.
Half-elf Dominic Greyson doesn’t hesitate when his sister asks for help. Her husband—the team’s starting quarterback—is falling apart on game day, and no one knows why.
Before Dom can start digging, a hit-and-run leaves him with a concussion.
Even with the lights too bright and his thinking slow, Dom does what he’s always done: take the hit and keep going. What he finds isn’t a slump. It’s sabotage.
Someone is deliberately hobbling the quarterback, slowly and patiently. When they strike the wrong person, Dom has to decide what he’s still fighting for… and whether there’s enough of him left to do it.
