Leoleshea, a dragon god, is accidentally awakened from her sleep within a glacier and demands to be challenged by the era's best game player. Leoleshea eventually meets Fay Theo Philus, an apostle with the supernatural ability to challenge gods in games. She and Fay form an unlikely partnership due to their shared passion for competitive games, with Leoleshea allowing Fay to call her "Leshea" after declaring her fondness for him. Leshea's motivation for playing the gods' games is to regain her status as an official god, while Fay seeks to find the woman who taught him how to play games.
