Miracles for Sale

Hunted by zealots for a failed prophecy, a once-revered palace astrologer is exiled to a skybound casino whose patrons revel in paralyzing spectacle and shifting loyalties. To avoid execution at the hands of its theocratic overlord, the astrologer orchestrates a blinding, pyrotechnic 'miracle' during a high-stakes tournament, only to discover that their chic confidante—thought to be a lifeline—intends to use the spectacle as proof to spark a coup, leaving the astrologer trapped between martyrdom and complicity in a cynical regime change.
