In this tale of conspiracy and murder, a computer expert and a young 19th-century Albanian girl both must protect a valuable relic, the most powerful piece of Charlemagne's mystical chess service. It's a piece that many will kill to get, and that many, over 1,000 years, have died for. The deadly Game has begun again in earnest. Sequel to The Eight. "[Denaker's] characters are rich and well crafted, always surprising and refreshing when the audience least expects it. A fun and ultimately thrilling listen."—Publishers Weekly
