Bishop

Retta wants to get married. Legally she can. Emotionally she's way more than ready. But the country is at war, she got divorced only a week ago, and her fiancé? There could be a lot of heat if they announced their nuptials right now. 

So, the answer is obvious, right? All she has to do is win the war, and the people will love her. Probably even forgive any whispers of treason about Anders. Easier said than done, of course. She could negotiate if the Elves had any demands. But, nope. Oh, and did she mention that she and Anders just had a big fight? Things aren't particularly stable right now.  

She knows she should care about the war more than she does about Anders leaving town, but she doesn't. How does she fight a national war when a personal one threatens her entire relationship?

Book three of the Chess Series brings new struggles for Retta, Anders, and the rest of The Gang. This is not a stand-alone novel and must be read after Knight and Queen.
