If you like gay, Jew-ish high fantasy with politics, peril, and pining, you might like The King Is Dead. It's got everything: Lawsuits! Emotionally significant chess games! Forbidden sorcery! It's even sort of a Book of Esther retelling!

a book cover in brown and off-white. a chessboard contains the letters of the title "The King Is Dead" as well simple monochrome illustrations of a young man, a bowl, a veiled lady, a stone with a fern fossil, a dagger, a tree, a bird, a moth, a bearded man, and a throne. the author's name is Naomi Libicki.
