Merit Academy isn't known for their students. It's known for it's student's legacies. For as long as the boarding school's doors have been open the institution has molded future politicians, performers, and athletes who will inspire future generations with their dedication and achievements. But when a student goes rogue and exposes the elite academy's hidden secrets, the Merit Academy's reputation begins to crumple. In a desperate Hail Mary, the board announces the Summit Games- a competition where students from each house will fight for prestige, scholarships, and unimaginable rewards. But five certain students are not just competitors. They're suspects. Charlotte Fairfax, the politician's daughter Dean Carter, the all-American race car driver Aoife O'Sullivan, the chess prodigy Inessa Anatova, the intimidating ballerina. Bennet Hughes, the beloved hockey star. One of them is guilty. And the five have until the end of the Summit Games to find out who.

♟️ The Nerd's Game 🏀 One played with strategy. One played with heart. Mason Brooks is the university's golden boy-a star basketball captain with charm to spare and a smile that can win over almost anyone. The only thing he can't seem to conquer? Statistics. Noah Carter is the complete opposite. A brilliant computer science student, chess champion, and unapologetic introvert, he'd rather spend hours solving impossible problems than dealing with people-especially arrogant athletes. When Mason is assigned mandatory tutoring to stay eligible for the season, Noah becomes the last person he wants to spend his afternoons with. What begins as a reluctant partnership quickly turns into sharp banter, unexpected friendship, and a rivalry of wits neither of them saw coming. As the lines between tutor and student begin to blur, Noah discovers that not everything can be solved with logic, while Mason learns that some hearts take patience, not charm, to win. Sometimes the hardest game isn't played on a basketball court... Or across a chessboard. Sometimes it's the one between two hearts.

But the biggest question isn't who the killer is. It's why everything seems to be happening exactly as someone intended. And by the time they understand the rules of the game, it may already be too late. _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________

Some stories are told. Mine is decoded. Every scar is a clue. Every betrayal is a lesson. Every chapter reveals another piece of a code I never knew I was writing. This isn't just my story-it's the survival code that shaped who I became.

[Heartless Prequel] When the White King discovers that the Red Queendom intends to assassinate his only daughter, he trusts Jest to act as the princess' guard. The White Queen does not want her daughter to feel frightened, so she suggests Jest court the princess and attribute his proximity to her as affection rather than a means of protection (she's giddy to see them get along!). When Jest hesitates to agree to this arrangement, the White Queen makes this promise: if he marries Princess Lily, he can leave his Rook duties behind him. But what if the princess knew how to protect herself? Jest's mind races: with a new Queen, they could end the war. With the war over, he could live a life of ease... the life he's always wanted. And without having to marry a stranger. Jest's life may have ended in the land of Hearts, but this is his life as a Rook (and jester?) in Chess. !!!!! The story is finished, I just need to post all of the chapters now! New chapters will drop Tuesday and Friday. !!!!

Jayden, Fola, David, and Nicole are four young, talented chess players who are advancing higher and higher in their pursuit of chess glory and growing stronger under the guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Molokwu, their grandmaster coaches. But even though chess starts as the center of everything, it soon becomes just another piece on the board as bonds and friendships that go beyond chess form between all four players. Experiencing victories and losses together forges strong ties between them and the story becomes less about the chess and more about the people playing the chess. And when they least expect, the story introduces them to both the beautiful possibility of new bonds and the haunting personality of old ones - and both contrasts come in the form of people, of course. Filled with adventure, anticipation, action, wins, losses, good humor, and emotions, "My Chess Teammates" welcomes you into the realm of friends who became family, rivals who will do anything to surpass their opponents, and the core values that make winners what they are - all while also welcoming you into the realm of the royal game of chess, the most beautiful game man ever made.

The story explore the school life drama, romance and the sense of home that a school can gives us.

However, his conceited amusement turned into nothing when he was discovered to be strangely murdered in a celebration held in Paris.

Estas páginas son mis memorias, escritas desde el rincón más oscuro de mi pasado. Nunca imaginé que mi viaje se vería interrumpido, dejándome atrapada en una ciudad perdida en el mapa, donde las circunstancias me forzaron a trabajar en un castillo habitado por criaturas que no deberían existir. Lo que al principio parecía un refugio, rápidamente se transformó en un tablero de ajedrez. No uno de madera, sino uno tejido con mentiras, cuerpos, besos y sangre. Cada uno de ellos era una ficha; y cada paso que yo daba, un movimiento. El rey oscuro intentó someterme y consumirme. Sus hijos se convirtieron en piezas, movidas por el deseo, las debilidades y las pasiones que aprendí a explorar con astucia para inclinar la partida a mi favor. Entre la seducción y el riesgo constante de ser descubierta, entendí que no había escapatoria posible. Si quería sobrevivir, tenía que entregarme por completo al juego y usar mi cuerpo, mi sangre y mi mente como armas. Frente a cinco depredadores, el deseo se confunde con el poder y la estrategia es la única salvación. En este tablero me negué a ser la víctima. Me convertí en la jugadora. Y mi única meta es coronarme como la reina.
