The Master (Gameshouse)

by Claire North

The third and final installment of the Gameshouse, a mesmerising tale of a mystical gambling house whose deadly games of chance and skill control the fate of empires.

The Gamehouse is an unusual institution.

Many know it as the place where fortunes can be made and lost though games of Chess, Backgammon - every game under the sun.

But a select few, who are picked to compete in the higher league, know that some games are played for higher stakes - those of politics and empires, of economics and kings . . .

And now, the ultimate player is about to step forward.

The three installments of the Gameshouse are also available in a single edition.

The final installment of the Gameshouse series focuses around the big game - the game of chess between two skilled opponents where the goal is to hunt the other down. The board - the entire world. I very much enjoyed how the first two books led up to this one.
