Claire North

The Master of the House Claire North

From Claire North comes the final of three novellas set in the ingenious and thrilling world of the Gameshouse. 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.
