Description
The first book of the “Hunters” cycle.
▪️️ Zugzwang—a chess position in which every next move by the player worsens their position.
Eight years of flawless work and a commission that shattered my future. The trophy turned out to be special, and the client wanted to get rid of the unnecessary witness. A chess game in which I’m only a pawn will be played out to the end—but now I am also part of it, to buy myself the right to live and possibly acquire something more.
Two years of normal life are crossed out by the people who need me for their plan. My voice doesn’t matter, and my wishes aren’t considered, because big money is at stake—money my father has. I’m an insignificant piece in the game that has begun, but a chain of accidents changes the players’ plans, and I can prove that even a pawn, reaching the edge of the board, can become a queen.
❁❁❁❁❁
The events in the story take place 2+ years after “Guy.” We’ll also meet familiar heroes: Owl, Pareto, Yary, Doctor, Merhanov (“The Ovod”).
