The Knight, the Bishop, and the Pawn. Episode One: The Duke

About this book

The Empire faces a crisis. The Empress hosts lavish parties, while in taverns across the realm agitators spout propaganda to draw in the masses to take up arms against their monarch. The job of keeping the peace falls to a handful of individuals: loyal, and hidden in the shadows. Away from prying eyes, these individuals use all means at their disposal to seek out traitors, take out agitators, and keep the realm secure and stable for another day. Yet when a member of the nobility begins to play games, can Zeventier, Magnus, and the Spymaster keep up, or will the elite of society be the ones to topple the Empress?
