Description
The Gameshouse is a place where fortunes can be made and lost through games of chance and skill. From chess to backgammon, every game under the sun is played here. But those who are fortunate enough to be invited to compete in the higher league must be prepared for games that involve real politics, economics, and even kings. In this mesmerising tale, three unusually talented contestants play for the highest stakes of all. With games of Capture the Castle taking place on a continental scale, and hide and seek played out across entire nations, the Gameshouse is a contest like no other. Claire North's writing shines through in this gripping story, where the fate of empires hangs in the balance. Originally published as three digital-only instalments, The Serpent, The Thief, and The Master are now available together in paperback.
