Checkmate Stories

The games end here. The final part of the Clanlands series. Hide & Seek began it, with Ri's story. Checkmate continued, with Lio's story. Domino is where it ends. And where it all began. This is the story of Lenor, the unseen Clanmate who set off everything, the entire progression of events, by a single courageous action. An action that saved the lives of a Cai and a Clan Leader, and ultimately lead to the exposure and downfall of a Dark Clan. For readers of Hide & Seek and Checkmate, this book will answer all unanswered questions: who is Ri really? How did she end up in Enarda? Why have the Lichorians been trying to get her back? How does this affect Ri and Damian? What happens to Lio after the events of Checkmate? How do things work out for Lio and Xent? What is going on in Lichor? How does it all end? The concluding chapter of the Clanlands series, this is where all stories come to their finale.

The void stretches endless, starless, silent. Suspended in that nothingness floats a cosmic chessboard - squares black as pitch and white as bone, every piece carved from souls and shadow. Opposite each other stand the two players. Lira watches two pawns take shape: Philip IV, burning with envy, and Jacques de Molay, gleaming with the quiet strength of the Templars. Her strawberry‑blonde hair falls in waves of autumn copper, and her gaze is steady, though heavy with foreboding. She knows what is coming. And she knows how hard she will have to fight. Asmodeus stares at the board, and pure, unadulterated joy bursts out of him. He steps forward, golden eyes blazing, grinning so wide it looks like his face might split. "Five hundred years," he purrs, rubbing his hands together in delicious anticipation. "Five hundred years of suffering. All because one king could not bear to see another stand taller than him. The Templars will burn. The throne will drown in blood. And the last of Philip's line... will lose his head." He leans across the board, taunting and triumphant. "Game on, Little Halo. Try not to weep when France falls."o

"In my world, a King is just a piece of wood..."- He's the fire she can't extinguish. She's the ice he can't melt. In a school of legends, the only thing more dangerous than their rivalry is their alliance. The Main Leads: Tara "The Ice Queen" (Female Lead): The Vibe: Fiery, emotional, but intellectually unstoppable. She isn't just a "nerd"-she's a force. The Edge: She uses her "worthiness" to dismantle bullies. She's the only girl brave enough to play on the boys' football team, proving she can beat them at their own game. Park "The Smartass" Jimin (Male Lead): School topper (always fighting Tara for #1) and the star of the football team. The Vibe: A little dramatic Gentleman He's wealthy, spoiled, and knows he's the best-until he looks at Tara. He's a tactical genius. Copyright © 2026 by [@Taravincenzo]. All rights reserved.

"So what did I get myself into then?" "A entertaining game of heartbreak, exposure and a cheap tiara." A game where a bunch of girls try to tear each other down to win a crown. Don't worry, it's normal.

She looked him straight in the eye and said "checkmate" To the royal families of Callos everything was a game that they could win. There was nothing they couldn't have. So when a war broke out it was no suprise that their children became pawns in their little game. Only they didn't realize they raised them to Kings and Queens.

Opposite attracts. And I guess that's true because I and Blaze are the living proof of it. Our names are the exact contradiction of who we are. He's Blaze yet he's cold. And I'm December who's full of sunshine. He needed my warmth and I wanted to get burnt with him. He was the sun in midnight and I was the moon in daylight. But we have something in common- he was mine and I was his. Our love story was just like others'. We didn't start with "love at first sight". Neither with "the more you hate the more you love". I was no damsel in distress to be saved by a knight in shining armor. There was just the typical "bumped into each other", the destined "meet unexpectedly at the most unusual time and place", and the fated "love game, three wishes, fixing broken souls, forget and forgive, and a love sweeter the second time around". Sounds crazy, right? Well, we're mad after all. Madly in love with each other.
