THE PAWN’S GAMBIT

Leilac Leamas, known to the world as a shrewd business consultant, hides a deeper reality—he is a master strategist in the game of global intrigue. When an invitation to a luxurious dinner at Le Olivo in Mallorca arrives, Leilac steps onto a new chessboard of manipulation and power. Leilac's mission is to secure financial backing for a high-stakes corporate takedown. Amidst Mallorca's opulent parties and strategic alliances, he encounters Camilla, the enigmatic wife of a vital ally. Camilla’s striking resemblance to Leilac’s lost love, Mariangela, stirs old emotions, complicating his calculated moves. From the sunlit shores of Mallorca to the vibrant streets of Lisbon, the towering skyline of New York, and the historic alleys of Madrid, Leilac's journey takes him through a chess game of intrigue. Each location—Calabria, Sicily, Istanbul, Lake Como, Monaco, Lavandou, Paris, Tuscany—adds a new layer to the complex game he plays. As Leilac faces Nemesis, a relentless adversary with deep connections and a thirst for vengeance, the stakes rise. Every interaction, every decision, is a move on a chessboard where fortunes and lives are at stake.
