The arrogant bishop feels superior, but it will race the fastest to its downfall.

I had been looking forward to summer break since learning I was going home for a month. Not only would I see my Aunt Nadia and my best friend Lizzy, but I wasn't traveling alone.

But being home wasn't at all what I thought it would be…

I'm drowning in mysteries and have to find the answers or die trying. It is becoming clear that I never truly knew my parents or the dark and depraved world I live in, but the blinders are gone.

When my summer of relaxation turns deadly, I race cross country with the most unlikely protector to make it to safety before those hunting me can finish what they started.

There are only two things I'm certain of anymore. I have a glowing target on my back, and the only people I can trust are the Kings. That is unless Nash Collier decides I'm more useful as a chess piece. Then all bets are off.
