Book 1: The Princess, the Knight, and the Lost God: A Chess Story

Princess Kassie-the daughter of Mars, the god of war, and the chess goddess Ca?ssa-has a mission on Earth that will shape the fate of two worlds. Mars places his trust in Maurice, a loyal knight, to guide Kassie through the trials ahead. As she navigates a bustling New York City school, she faces mysteries, danger, and startling revelations at every turn.

Meanwhile, fallen chess lords, banished long ago from Chess Mountain, sense a vulnerable portal opening with Kassie's arrival-and they're ready to do whatever it takes to breach it and make their terrifying return.

As Kassie forms connections with her classmates, a dark force conspires against her. Among the students is Hunter, a tough bully with a shadowy past, and a quiet boy, grappling with his own struggles, who unexpectedly becomes her ally. One teacher has an unsettling presence, while others, like her homeroom teacher and the leader of the chess club, offer crucial support-but no one can be trusted completely.

When everything comes to a head, Kassie faces a moment of truth as time runs out. In an ultimate face-off, she must make a split-second decision that could change the fate of both Chess Mountain and Earth. The consequences are immense, and the clock is ticking-Kassie must rely on everything she's learned to make the right move.

This modern adventure brings ancient chess mythology to life with jaw-dropping twists, unforgettable characters, and themes of mystery, bravery, and loyalty-perfect for middle schoolers and their families.
