Overview
A fallen king. A cursed warrior. A battle that will shape the fate of an empire.Hans never wanted to be a hero. Once, he believed himself to be a god among men, wielding his magic with reckless arrogance-until reality proved him wrong. Now, he is something far worse. The power inside him is no longer his own. Darkness coils beneath his skin, whispering, waiting, hungering.When Hans and his companions-an exiled knight, a cunning rogue, and a priestess with secrets of her own-are imprisoned by a desperate king, they are given a choice: fight for a throne that is crumbling beneath corruption, or be left to rot in the dungeons. But the war brewing in the kingdom is only the beginning of their troubles.A deeper darkness stirs. An ancient power, bound by chains of faith and blood, is awakening. Lora, the group's steadfast healer, finds herself haunted by a force she cannot control, a demon buried within her very soul. And when the seals begin to break, unleashing horrors beyond imagination, it is Hans who may be the only one capable of stopping it-if he doesn't lose himself to the fire first.Betrayal lurks around every corner. War is inevitable. And as Hans fights to keep his humanity, one truth becomes clear: even gods can fall.For fans of The Witcher, The Lies of Locke Lamora, and classic epic fantasy, The King's Gambit weaves magic, deception, and destiny into a story of heroes, monsters, and the thin line between the two.
