The Queen's Gamble

No matter what move she makes, there will be consequences.

Daphne Hale has transformed from pawn to queen. Or has she?

Daphne's caught once more between the man she loves and the man who seeks to own her. Estranged from Essos and forced to cater to Galen, Daphne fights to navigate the dangerous waters of the Trials as she moves closer to the seemingly inevitable endgame - marriage to the man who murdered her.

As the Underworld itself trembles with unstable power and Daphne's own magic weakens daily, every move could be her undoing. To protect those she loves, Daphne must go along with the charade. But no one ever won a game of chess by resigning.

This reborn goddess may be in check, but it's her move.
