OVERVIEW:

In an alternate universe where Damian Al Ghul Wayne never left the Al Ghuls and became the rightful heir to the League of Shadows, his life was much different from that of the youngest Robin alongside his father Bruce Wayne.

He never went to Gotham, never met his father and paternal side of the family in person, never became a vigilante and continued his life as that of a deadly assassin, leading the League according to the legacy of his grandfather and mother.

A heartless assassin, a lethal weapon and deep down a broken human sitting on his throne, weighed down by the heavy crown jewels on his head. The very crown that many would have killed for if he hadn't gotten rid of them first.

He was the black king at the chessboard of his own life, knowing that there were many pieces out there to checkmate him. And yet the controller of that chessboard had planned an even deadly fate for him by setting the white queen into action.

It is no lesser known fact that in a parade of rooks, knights and castles, the queen stands the deadliest of all.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

This is an alternate universe fanfic so a lot of aspects in the characters you know will be altered and a lot of scenes do not follow the basic DC timeline. The main change is that since Damian never left the Al Ghuls, the youngest Robin is Tim Drake in Gotham and Damian never took up the mantle of Robin.

As a result, Damian is leading the League of Assassins alongside her mother Talia, his character is also altered from what you see in DC because as he never met with the paternal side of his family and grew up with the Al Ghuls, his moral compass is out of order to say the least.

This is the sequel to Intoxicating Desires | T. Al Ghul and features a lethal game of chess in which the controller of the chessboard is unknown, however, all the people in Damian's life are chess pieces moving along towards an ultimate end.

To checkmate the king and end the game.

I am most excited to start writing this one because the plot is going to be very intriguing. However, it will require a lot of time since I have to think out everything in terms of chess so I don't know when I will be posting it since I have classes right now and with all the assignments and exams I get very little time for stories.
