'Romantic, moving, and utterly magical' Ava Reid, author of A Study in Drowning

'A daring and imaginative tale of moves and countermoves' Rachel Gillig, author of The Knight and the Moth

Ever since Shea Fury's sister was stolen by the High King of the Fae, Shea has dreamed of rescuing her. When an invitation to compete in a once-in-a-lifetime chess tournament in the Otherworld arrives on Shea's doorstep, she learns the winner is granted one wish.

But dark magic lurks around every corner, and her cutthroat opponents are willing to bend the rules to make their own wishes come true. To make it to the final round - and save her sister - Shea is forced to strike an alliance with her longtime rival, the sharply beautiful fae princess, Ciara of Bri Leith.

One wrong move, though, and it could cost her everything.

From the author of Wings of Starlight, and #booktok sensation A Dark and Drowning Tide.

An utterly irresistible romantic fantasy brimming with deadly competition, beautiful, cruel fae and an enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance.
