  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  Drea Kalder is the last of her noble House. Her parents murdered or dead by their own hand, her husband-to-be, the Imperator, killed in the Senate, she has no one left except her best friend Thryis. Then Drea is adopted as a ward by the influential House Syphen, by the man who orchestrated her future husband’s death and possibly her parents. Every day her life is lived on a knife’s edge. 
  Drea lives at the center of a vast civilization in Drith, a city that has harnessed the power of steam, electricity, and magic. For centuries, the city’s Major Houses have fought a bloody struggle for control over Drith, and Drea is now a pawn in their game. She learns of dark sorcerers, mages, and secret societies that go back hundreds of years. Then a magic-wielding gunslinger, known only as Lady Blackveil, seeks her out, and Drea learns this woman may have the answers to her family’s downfall. 
  The bullets fly and the blades are quick, as Drea Kalder begins to piece together what’s happened to her and her family. And she learns more about The Way, a mystical and philosophical treatise on life. Soon, she begins to grasp at something that no woman in Drith has ever sought before: Control.

  Fate often guides us down a troubled path toward happiness. Do we have the courage to take it? 
  Mary O'Brien feels at home among the Southern Mountain Ute tribe. Happy and content for the last fourteen years living among these kind and generous people, she is caught by surprise when a company of soldiers ride through the village and see her—a white woman with fiery red hair. Their commander decides she must be returned to her own kind, and soon she finds herself an outcast living among the prejudiced judgment of those who blame her for things she has no control over. All she wants to do is return to the mountains and live in peace—until an unexpected encounter in the forest changes everything. 
  Doc Howard is known for his holistic approach to medicine. He prefers the healing ways of the Southern Ute, but that is a secret he must hide from everyone or suffer the consequences of misguided prejudices. But when a chance encounter with a mysterious red-haired woman reveals he knows more about her past than she does, his convictions are called into question. Doc knows that doing the right thing and returning her to her world will put his world in jeopardy. As much as he tries to deny the truth, circumstances soon reveal that he must gather his courage and take a stand or his choices will no longer be his to make. 
  Mary and Doc—two lost souls, damaged and broken by the pain and suffering of tragic losses inflicted on their lives by forces beyond their control. Can they draw upon what’s left of their courage to put the past behind them and reach for the future, or will their fears keep them from grabbing hold of the love that could heal them both?

  In this gripping historical saga, award-winning Spanish writer Paco Cerdà explores simmering Cold War anxieties through the lens of a legendary chess match. 
   
  Stockholm, 1962. Spain's first chess grandmaster, Arturito Pomar, faces off against eighteen-year-old American prodigy Bobby Fischer in a match destined for legend, celebrated more for its symbolism than for its outcome. Shuttling across decades and between the United States, Spain, the Soviet Union, and beyond, The Pawn chronicles the contentious careers of the two chess masters, expertly examining the geopolitical anxieties of the 1960s that went on to shape not just the lives of these men, but the modern world. 
   
  Perfect for fans of The Storm We Made and The Queen's Gambit, The Pawn explores the intricate shadow layers between gameplay and warfare, strategy and sedition, pawn and puppet. In this incisive and timely rendering, Cerdà presents a devastatingly human portrait of "the many exceptional people whose lives were sacrificed on the altar of Cold War interests" (The New York Times).
