Summary
Even Pawns can checkmate Kings. Once a century, the gods hold a contest to determine who
will rule from the Jade Throne. Each god chooses a mortal
champion, and the fate of heaven and earth depends on the
winner. Once a world-renowned strategist and general, Yuu made one
wrong move, and the Steel Prince paid for her mistake with his
life. Now on the run, she relies on her wits to evade royal
bounty hunters. But what if there is a way to bring back her
dead prince? On a playing board full of heroes, warriors, assassins, and
thieves can Yuu survive long enough to even learn the rules of
the game, let alone master it? Pawn's Gambit is a stand alone story set in the
award-winning Mortal Techniques universe. It's a wuxia
adventure filled with heroes, gods, spirits, and magic.
