She convinced herself she had already moved on. Destiny, however, had other plans. On a chessboard where every move has a consequence... When the King and the Queen stand on opposite sides once again- Who will win? The King? The Queen? Or will love make the final move? Because every King needs a Queen. But not every Queen is willing to return to her King. Who will be the Queen?
