Piccolo the Initiare: The King's Gambit continues Piccolo's evolution as a mage of the Gray Dragon. The war with the Consortium Wizards and Dark Elves has escalated to the point that the uncompromising dragons are slowly being forced to band together to fight the threat. Territory by territory the Consortium Wizards are ravaging the Dragon Lands and with the Consortium's new ally, the dreaded Demons of Terrenus, there appears to be nothing the Mages of Corinthor nor the dragons can do to stop them. Piccolo the Initiare: The King's Gambit brings the warmth of reunion, the despair of loss, and the complications of friendships in focus. In an ever changing landscape of lies, self-preservation, and incredible sacrifice, Piccolo again must choose her path carefully between friendships, loyalties and family or find herself on a path that will lead ultimately to the destruction of the Dragon Lands.
