Leilac Leamas, known to the world as a shrewd business consultant, hides a deeper reality—he is a master strategist in the game of global intrigue. When an invitation to a luxurious dinner at Le Olivo in Mallorca arrives, Leilac steps onto a new chessboard of manipulation and power. Leilac's mission is to secure financial backing for a high-stakes corporate takedown.

As Leilac faces Nemesis, a relentless adversary with deep connections and a thirst for vengeance, the stakes rise. Every interaction, every decision, is a move on a chessboard where fortunes and lives are at stake.
