NEW YORK, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- R.M. Burgess, a professional researcher and writer, licensed bike racer, occasional triathlete, keen skier and world traveler currently residing in Philadelphia, has completed his book "The Chess Players of Brosen": a gripping and potent story of power, betrayal, friendship, and goodness in an unforgettable cast of characters.
In a medieval city, a young courtesan risks everything to protect a female prodigy from the few who use her and the many who feel threatened by her extraordinary gifts.
This is the story of seven-year-old Nitya, a Yengar girl with exceptional abilities, persecuted for her faith while living on the streets of Brosen with her father. Arriving in the city as destitute refugees, they face constant abuse, for the Yengars are a small, scholarly community reviled as infidels by the mainstream Thermadan religion. Shunned by respectable folk, the city's public chess games offer them an intellectual escape from their daily travails. Nitya's acumen for the game attracts the attention of Grippus Terendor, an aristocratic chess master. It is a mixed blessing, for she simultaneously earns the hatred of Festerus, a senior Thermadan cleric.
Nitya and her father meet Grippus's mistress, Gianina, a teenage courtesan who works at an expensive house of pleasure called the Lace Garter. Friendship blossoms between the two girls, both outcasts for different reasons. As Grippus prepares to play in the grand chess tournament as the representative of Brosen, all of them are drawn into maneuverings that will change their lives forever.
When blind faith rules, knowledge is sin.
