The House of Bloodstein

First in the Bloodstein series. Lady Chrysania of Bloodstein dwells in the dark, hiding her face, ravaged by an ancient curse. The only way to break the curse is to win a game called Perlamum. If she loses, she dies. She looks to her Vith kin in the west, begging for help acquiring the all-important pieces she needs to play the game. But, questing for the pieces is a deadly, possibly impossible task. To even the odds, Lord Kabyl and Lady Sammidoran turn to a forgotten graveyard deep in the Telmus Grove, and the great eminence resting there.
