Crowns and Pawns

This is the story of one whose destiny was predetermined. This is the story of one who was the victim of circumstance. A victim of a past that was not his own.

He learned early to keep his head down, his mouth shut, his eyes up, and his ears open. He learned when to bite his gold and when to not look a gift horse in the mouth. He learned to judge malice from goodness. But nothing could have prepared him for what fate deigned to gift him.

Another world; magic; plagues; blood and fire; royalty; and at every corner, lies.

Jesse will need more than just power. He will need more than just skills and abilities. He will need help... and contacts. But in this game, who is trustworthy? And who is not?

For one whose crime was to be born, to survive is to win.
