When Tiamat lets one of Babylon's dragons lick her hand, her luck turns overnight. From being an average player of Twenty Squares, she becomes the Egibi team's secret weapon, blessed with a mysterious talent that helps her win every game.
But Tiamat's lucky hand is in demand for more than the Twenty Squares Championships. It also gives her the power to open the magical gateways that lead between the great cities of the earth, and beyond the earth into the heavenly realm where dragons breed. When the Persians discover these gateways and trick Tiamat into helping their army enter the city, Babylon's days are numbered.
