"To play the pawns well; they are the soul of chess: it is they which uniquely determine the attack and the defense, and on their good or bad arrangement depends entirely on the winning or losing of the game." - François-André Danican Philidor They say the weakest piece in the game of chess is the pawn. Smallest in size, lowest in rank and value. "Many take pawns for granted," she said, "they see it as pieces easily manipulated, but what they don't realize is, pawns can be anything... even a Queen." "Checkmate, Alpha." They believed she was chosen by the Moon, but she preferred the word cursed, bound to serve until her debts were paid. He was said to be blessed amongst all of his kind, but he was cunning and ruthless. One move can surely change the course of the game.

{Original Story} Having supernatural powers should feel like a blessing, but for Jack Parker, the most powerful Gifted in the world, it means he gets to be haunted by ghosts, hallucinations, and premonitions. Oh, and he's also on the run to stay one step ahead of a murderous cult and an ancient evil nicknamed Death. So much for being special. Maya Park thought her powers were incredible until she finds out about the danger they put her in. All she wants is to go home, but how can she do that without jeopardizing her family's safety? Anna van Danne prefers a typical, non-murderous lifestyle, but the cult expects more from her. If she has to kill Jack Parker and devour his Gift to stay in their good graces -- and maybe make a name for herself in the process -- then so be it. No one knows what's going to happen. All they can do is wait and see who survives and hope that Death doesn't take over the world in the meantime.

His voice was dangerous, daring me to laugh, and something about the rumbling in his throat compelled me to abide by his every demand. His words rolled through the air between us, and he moved so that his lips were next to my ear. I shuddered when his breath tickled my hairline. "Do you have a less funny explanation for how you can create fire?" he breathed. My shoulders, which once shook with laughter, now quivered with anticipation. "W-Well," I stuttered. "I guess not." ........................................................................................................ 💥 FEATURED on the Wattpad Adventure profile's Fantastical Adventure's reading list! 💯 TOP RANKINGS: #10 • YoungAdultFantasy #15 • Supernatural Romance #35 • MagicPowers #21 • YAFantasy #70 • Cursed
