En garde—shadows alive! Pawns awaken, veils tear, monsters rise. Al’s endgame: NOW.
Ordinary? Not anymore. Thirteen-year-old Al Mathews scoffed at magic and monsters—until a shadowy Pawn attacks, a fencer lunges from the dark, and his world rips open like a torn veil.
Fresh start in a Mississippi River town? Think again. Bullied “loser” Al can’t escape his past… or the supernatural war chasing him. Teaming with ragtag friends, he dives into a chessboard of good vs. evil—where one wrong move means game over.
With dark forces closing in, Al faces impossible choices: Fight the monsters? Save his crew? Unravel the secrets tying it all together? The clock’s ticking. Will Al claim checkmate… or become the next pawn?
