The Eight: A Novel - Thryft

Chess game intertwines history, mystery, and fate.

If tales of cryptic puzzles and historical intrigue captivate you, "The Eight" is your next literary companion. Katherine Neville crafts a tale spanning centuries where the game of chess isn't just a game—it's a convergence of history, myth, and destiny. Imagine a quest peppered with intellectual challenges that could sway the balance of power: it's cerebral, it's adventurous, and it's waiting for you to make your move.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
