A Game of Chance

by Catherine Hanlon

“I thought I was done with rolling the dice, and putting my life in the hands of fate. Instead I find myself an unwitting pawn in an endless game of chance. I don’t care what it costs. This is a game I will win.” The girl wakes, her mind empty. People tell her that she has been ill for a long time. Her name is Marie Harrison and she was a criminal, or so they say. Worse than that, she was an imaginist; a thought criminal and an anarchist. In a town of strangers, Marie struggles to find herself amid the chaos of repression. Something happened to her, something terrible, but she cannot remember. Meanwhile, back in Town 42, the people she loved grieve, conscious that time for imaginists everywhere is running out. A story of imagination, lies and the pursuit of freedom, A Game of Chance is the mesmerising sequel to A Roll of Dice, and the second volume of the Dice Dystopia.
