Kael has stolen a fortune. Now he has to live long enough to keep it.
With wagons loaded with silver and his family at his side, Kael flees north from Elaidir, racing for the border before the powerful men he robbed can take back what they lost. But a fortune that large leaves a trail—and there are plenty of men willing to follow it.
Mercenaries hunt them from behind. Brigands stalk the roads ahead. And when a desperate nobleman discovers what Kael is carrying, safe passage becomes another weapon in a deadly game of threats, bargains, and betrayal.
Kael has survived monsters, sorcerers, and armies. This time, strength alone won't be enough. To get his companions safely out of Ulaithann, he'll have to outthink enemies who know the land, control the roads, and want the treasure badly enough to kill for it.
But somewhere along the road lies a secret buried since the fall of Sarathan.
And the fortune Kael is fighting to protect may be nothing compared to the one waiting to be found.
Steel, gold, and cunning collide in The Golden Gambit, Book Eighteen of The Kael Brightsun Chronicles.
Genre: Fantasy
