About this ebook

The third and final installment in the mesmerizing trilogy of a mystical gambling house where deadly games of chance and skill control the fate of empires.

The Gameshouse is an unusual institution.

Many know it as the place where fortunes can be made and lost though games of chess, backgammon . . . every game under the sun.

But a select few, who are picked to compete in the higher league, know that some games are played for higher stakes—those of politics and empires, of economics and kings . . .

And now, the ultimate player is about to step forward.

Praise for The Gameshouse Trilogy

"Very difficult to put down . . . a highly entertaining thriller . . . intoxicating." — SciFiNow

"A twisty tale of intrigue and games played for the highest possible stakes . . . both a paranoid fantasy about a world where anyone can be bought and a broody tale about what really matters when anything can be gambled away." — Kirkus Reviews

"North expertly melds the personal with the far-reaching. Action never lets up, and at times it even blends with philosophical questions of order and chaos." — Library Journal
