King's Gambit: Crown of Ashes

Mikhail Volkov, a former military engineer from Earth, is torn from his world and cast onto the ruined planet of Minoris, where he awakens beneath a nightmare of shattered cities and dead civilizations.

Above Minoris, unseen higher beings watch every struggle, every death, and every desperate choice. To them, human suffering is entertainment. A gamble. A game.

In a world where gods move lives like pieces on a board, one man must learn the rules, survive the game, and become the move they never saw coming.

King's Gambit is a dark sci-fi fantasy story of survival, war, trauma, strategy, and rebellion.
