Ridge Gambit (set of two books)

Chess genius, hacker, gamer, nerdy glasses-wearer — it's all about Snezhka. She is prickly and serious, distrustful and vengeful. Snezhka does not believe in fairy tales, but ends up in one — an evil and not at all light one.... This non-fairy world is rolling into the abyss, and a slave collar is closing around Snezhka's neck. Set: «Ridge Gambit. Differentiate the Darkness» and «Ridge Gambit. Integrate the Light». A duology by Evgenia Safonova, author of the books «Moon Wind» and «When Tomorrow Arrives Again», as well as «Doll Queen», «Carnival of Lies» and the duology «Necromance». A magical world where dark and light have swapped places. Here a game is played, and the main stake in it is life. An enemy you want to respect, an opponent you should fear — and a person whose presence makes your heart beat faster. A combination too dangerous for everything to work out simply. A story that defies all the genre's canons and laughs at clichés. The edition is supplemented with illustrations by the popular artist Polina Graf.
