Fans of Rick Riordan, Harry Potter, and Matilda will love this award-winning mythological fantasy:
A young goddess is launched into a journey that could save her kingdom-or divide two worlds forever.
Princess Kassie never expected to be thrust into an urgent quest on her twelfth birthday. But her best friend, Dimitri, has been kidnapped, igniting a war as her parents-Mars, the god of war, and Ca鮢sa, the chess goddess-are falsely accused of the crime.
As chaos engulfs Chess Mountain, Kassie is rushed to Earth, where she must complete a high-stakes task while adapting to life in a bustling school. Above all, she must evade the vengeful, exiled chess lords who would stop at nothing to see her homeland fall.
Disguised as a New York City student, Kassie guides her classmates through the hidden mysteries of chess to improve their lives and fulfill her mission. But as her bond with them deepens, so do her doubts about whom to trust. When shocking clues hint that someone close may be the enemy, Kassie realizes her time is running out.
When the ultimate face-off occurs, she's met with a stunning revelation and a swift, terrible choice to make: should she sacrifice herself to protect her kingdom, or cling to a bond that could either save her or doom both worlds to eternal torment?
This exciting, modern adventure brings ancient chess mythology to life with jaw-dropping twists, unforgettable heroes and heroines, and themes of mystery, friendship, and courage-perfect for middle schoolers and their families.
