Dear Reader, The spectacular chess game in my book, THE EIGHT—a quest for the bejeweled chess set that once belonged to Charlemagne—has captivated readers around the world with its exotic locales, fascinating historic figures, and complex plot. Long a collectors' item due to its unique theme, Publishers Weekly recently credited THE EIGHT with having "paved the way" for the re-emergence of a timeless genre: the Quest novel. Today, that 'Game' resumes, in force, in my long-awaited sequel: THE FIRE. When the most critical piece of Charlemagne's chess set, the Black Queen, suddenly emerges, the quest leads us from 8th-century Baghdad to the wilds of Colorado, to Albania, Russia, Rome, Morocco—and into a secret wilderness that almost no one knows, hidden at the very heart of Washington DC. I am delighted that THE FIRE has spent six months atop bestseller lists around the world, and I'm honored that it has garnered dozens of wonderful reviews like these: "THE FIRE impresses as much for its literary aspects as it does for its action, puzzles and suspense...This is a book to be savored as it's read, and admired for the beauty of its accomplishment." —Chicago Sun-Times; "An exotic, labyrinthine conspiracy tale...the perfect escapist adventure" —The Washington Post.

I look forward to hearing from you! Best thoughts Katherine Neville |
