   Summary

   A night of passion in Constantinople leads to angst and misunderstandings for James and Sherlock. Is this the end of their friendship or the start of something beautiful?

   They agree that Appleton Manor will be subject to a truce and out of bounds for their Great Game, and so the story tracks their trysts there over the years as their relationship develops and goes through twists and turns. Appleton becomes their haven, the only place they can truly express their feelings.

   But in order to win the Game, one of them must kill the other.
   Can they somehow find their way to a happy ending or will it all end at Reichenbach Falls?
