Description
In a reimagined history, thirteen-year-old Bess—who will one day become Queen Elizabeth I—travels to Constantinople to witness an unprecedented chess tournament hosted by Sultan Suleiman. When prominent guests are mysteriously murdered, Bess and her tutor, Roger Ascham, find themselves drawn into a dangerous investigation among the world’s greatest chess players. Blending court intrigue, historical adventure, and murder mystery, the novel explores strategy, ambition, deception, and the formidable intelligence of a young future monarch. Fast-paced and atmospheric, it offers a standalone prequel-style adventure centered on one of history’s most compelling figures.
