Six years ago, Shea Fury’s sister was whisked away by the High King of the Otherworld, the ruler of the treacherous land of fae. Although Shea has spent the years since dreaming of rescuing her sister from captivity, the Iron Veil that separates the human world from that of the fae has made it only a wish. That is, until an invitation to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime chess tournament in the Otherworld arrives on Shea’s doorstep. The winner of the tournament may ask the High King to grant one wish, and Shea is finally within reach of hers.
But entering the tournament and winning it are two different matters. Dark magic lurks around every corner in the Otherworld, and Shea’s cutthroat opponents are willing to bend the rules to make their own wishes come true. To make it to the end—and to find her sister—she is forced to strike an alliance with her longtime rival, the sharply beautiful fae princess, Ciara of Bri Leith. One wrong move, though, and Shea could lose more than just the competition: She’d lose her sister, her dignity, and maybe even her life.
A version of Immortal Game has lived in my head for a very long time. It’s a kind of weird reimagining of an even weirder Irish myth called “The Wooing of Étaín,” which I encountered for the first time in a Celtic Mythology class in undergrad. Distilling what I found so captivating about that story—and the world of modern chess—into this book is one of the most rewarding creative and intellectual challenges I’ve undertaken. I’m very happy that Shea and Ciara’s story is now yours. <3 I hope you love them as much as I do… and that you give chess a try if you haven’t already.
If you’re buying a copy of Immortal Game this week, I would LOVE it if you did so from your favorite indie bookstore. If you’ve read it already, it would be so cool if you told your friends about it—or left a review on retail sites (like B&N and Amazon), even if it’s only a sentence or two. It helps get the book in front of new readers.
