From the author of the word-of-mouth phenomenon The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August comes a mesmerising tale of a mystical gambling house whose deadly games of chance and skill control the fate of empires. Everyone has heard of the Gameshouse. But few know all its secrets.

It is the place where fortunes can be made and lost though chess, backgammon - every game under the sun.

But those whom fortune favours may be invited to compete in the higher league...where the games played are of politics and nations, of economics and kings. It is a contest where Capture the Castle involves real castles and where hide and seek takes place on the scale of a continent.

Among those worthy of competing in the higher league, three unusually talented contestants play for the highest stakes of all....

From Claire North, author of word-of-mouth best-seller The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and one of the most original new voices in modern fiction, comes the mesmerising tale of the Gameshouse, where games of chance and skill control the fate of empires.

Originally published as three digital-only instalments: The Serpent, The Thief and The Master.

I have listened to many audiobooks in the last few years, but must say this is truly outstanding,. Only bad eyesight and laziness keeps me from gushing on at length in praise of this audiobook. The intelligence, breath, performance… truly fascinating and enthralling piece of work.Whether one enjoys action romance philosophy psychology history or politics, this book will satisfy, thrill and enlighten. Cannot heap enough praise .
Enjoy!

Absolute delight!
