Dèja’s friend Ben even draws Ben Franklin, another founding father, into his portrait of a New York subway. Should your Clan prevail, they’ll not only leave with bragging rights and a new tower to receive periodic rewards from, but also a bevy of rewards from participating in the PvP match, which can include Cursed Items.

The novel closes with an essay by Dèja in which she explains that their family has gotten a new apartment and that Pop’s doctor gave him medicine to help.
