Om The Fool's Gambit
Having survived a fight-to-the-death ceremony that elevated her to Queen of Enturia, 15-year-old Rhynt must now face the Mystrosians, a formidable force intent on conquering Enturia and enslaving her and her people.
As hundreds of Mystrosian ships approach the Enturian harbor, she turns to Baron Bookins, the former fool to the king, for help. He says he has a plan to defeat the Mystrosians, a gambit that will assure victory. Maybe.
There's just one problem.
Whelan the Wanderer, Randall himself, God of Gods has other ideas. He wants the Mystrosians to win and sets his own gambits in motion. But it's more than just fool against god-it's fool against gods. Bookins must parry the assaults of several gods, each with different skills, to have any hope of victory.
Despite surprises and setbacks at every turn, his own doubts, and the doubts of the people closest to him, Bookins sticks to his gambit. But will it work?
The answer is delivered by award-winning writer Len Boswell, in a breathtaking clash of armies and gods, with an ending sure to shock and surprise.
