A FREE CHESS QUEST SHORT STORY
Sir George
and Count Drake.
A knight of light. A former friend sworn to darkness. One final quest before the board is set for battle.
It’s always time for a quest.
EVERY CHAMPION NEEDS A NEMESIS
An old friendship.
A very large problem.
Sir George carries a white ivory pawn—the mark of a champion of light. Three noble quests have awakened three magical gifts, but he must complete the Quest of Courage before he can face his appointed nemesis at full strength.
Unfortunately, that nemesis is Count Percy von Drake, George’s childhood friend. Percy is tired of waiting for their duel, and he knows exactly how to turn an old fear into a very large, very fiery problem.
