Description
In Revolutionary Paris, a group of highly talented artists sought recognition denied to them. In Cardiff Bay, they rediscovered their ambition in a seductive suite of rooms. A ruthless game of life and death unfolds through an automated eighteenth-century chess game, where three individuals are drawn into a deadly struggle. Kris, a struggling actor with a self-deluded sense of identity, is aided by Fabrienne, a beautiful but scarred recluse with a violent secret history. Their only hope for salvation lies in Honeyman, a flawed and damaged individual. Engaging history and intriguing factual seeds make this novel an engaging read.
