Immortal Game cover

From the Sunday Times, Indie, and No.1 New York Times bestselling romantasy author behind 2025 YA phenomenon Wings of Starlight, and #booktok sensation A Dark and Drowning Tide.

A deadly competition in the beautiful and brutal world of the fae.

A forbidden and intoxicating romance that could cost her everything.

Love is the ultimate gambit.

Ever since Shea Fury's sister was stolen by the High King of the Fae, Shea has dreamed of crossing the Iron Veil and rescuing her. When an invitation to compete in a once-in-a-lifetime chess tournament in the Otherworld arrives on Shea's doorstep, she learns the winner is granted one wish. Finally, Shea can win back her sister.

But dark magic lurks around every corner, and her cutthroat opponents are willing to bend the rules to make their own wishes come true. To make it to the final round - and to free her sister - Shea is forced to strike an alliance with her longtime rival - the sharply beautiful fae princess, Ciara of Bri Leith.

One wrong move, though, and it may cost her more than just the chances of seeing her sister again - or the new, unspeakable love growing in her heart. As long-lost secrets emerge, Shea starts to realise..... she was never meant to make it out of the Otherworld alive.

An utterly irresistible new YA romantic fantasy brimming with deadly competition, beautiful, cruel fae and an enemies-to-overs sapphic romance. Perfect for fans of Lauren Roberts, Holly Black and Rachel Gillig.

For readers 14+

Master storyteller Saft's brilliant, wonderfully prickly, dangerously charming characters will capture your heart. Immortal Game conjures a world deeply evocative yet utterly fresh, full of clashing egos and life or death choices, where myths play out in surprising new patterns and nothing is black and white. * Leanne Schwartz, author of A Prayer for Vengeance and To a Darker Shore *

A deft, powerful exploration of the complexity of sibling bonds, the sharp edges of our dreams, and the healing capacity of love. Romantic, moving, and utterly magical.

* Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning *

A lush, thrilling novel that's heartfelt and captivating from start to finish. I absolutely loved my time with the Fury sisters and their immortal game, and Saft continues to dazzle.

* Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lucy Undying *
As well-woven and irresistible as a fae bargain, Immortal Game ensnared me in its clever game from the start and refused to release me until its final, perfectly executed move. Enthralling romance, engrossing character work, and exceptional prose make this story irresistible. Allison Saft proves once again why she's a singular force within the fantasy space. A must-read. * C. L. Herman, New York Times bestselling author of All of Us Villains and A Fate So Cold *
