Rivennia

A Game of Wagers

By: Jaime Urencio

Narrated by: Scott Fleming, Gabrielle Nellis-Pain

EVOLUTION IS NO LONGER NATURAL • IT'S POLITICAL

When Gren Moritz is elected head of the global government of Rivennia, he is ridiculed and isolated by others in power for his stance against the rise in genetic engineering. Following his inauguration, Gren is lured into the dark shadows of the Liffdom Lodges, a covert gambling syndicate that controls Rivennia. The Lodgers promise political backing, but it comes at a price – Gren must partake in a macabre wager. His fellow players are anxious analyst Samuel Rosendale and sharp-tongued supermodel Primula Zhang. As the stakes rise and the Lodgers’ true motives come to light, the rivals form an unlikely alliance, forced to navigate a treacherous web of power. The future of civilisation hinges on the choices they make.

Captivating and brilliant!

It was captivating. The words triggers imagination as a new world drawn in your mind. The characters are incredible!
No wasted words in the character building. No wasted time in building the emotional baggage that each character carried from their past. The unsaid things added to the intrigue.
Primula was a brilliant character. Flawed, unsure of her own strengths, dimming herself down to fit in, struggling, surviving and able to grow past the trauma.
The juxtaposition between Lorelei and Gren. Sam’s lifelong struggle pre and post the wagers.
AND so much more … just read it, you will not be disappointed.
