The Eighth Pawn

Ochelon, Revive Series (Book 1)

About the Book

Power is never given. It is taken, one move at a time.

Betrayed. Cornered. Hunted.

Tez’ Mu has two choices: move or be removed.

In a kingdom where bloodlines dictate loyalty and power is a game of poisoned daggers, Tez’ Mu is trapped between duty and survival. In Ochelon, power is a blade, and he is running out of time to claim one. Sent to broker peace, he instead walks into a war of shifting alliances and deadly secrets. But if he plays his hand right, he won’t just survive—he’ll rewrite the game itself.

The Eighth Pawn is a political fantasy epic blending military intrigue with family-driven treachery and relentless pacing. A gripping tale of political intrigue, deception, and a reluctant hero caught in the storm of a dying empire. Perfect for fans of slow-burn strategy, high-stakes manipulation, and the kind of power plays that leave kingdoms in ruins.

In a world of kings and warlords, one pawn dares to play.

Not all wars are fought with swords. Some are won with whispers.
